CILIP Employers Forum: Future ready library and information services
CILIP Employers Forum Forum 2022: Winning the talent retention and recruitment battle through effective health and wellbeing policies
CILIP’s popular one-day Employers Forum is hosted this year at London's fabulous Wellcome Collection and is generously sponsored by recruitment specialists CB Resourcing.
The day provides an excellent opportunity for senior staff to share knowledge, network and learn alongside their peers. With an optional library tour of the Collection and post-event drinks in a local pub too.
There will also be an opportunity for the group to share experiences in other policies around successful retention and recruitment as well as looking at effective health and wellbeing policies.
This page is for those for those attending in-person. To attend online, please head to the online event page.
Winning the talent retention and recruitment battle through effective health and wellbeing policies
Promoting health and wellbeing with your team has long been a focus of good employers. From fruit bowls in the office to away-days
and employee assistance programmes, employers are aware of the benefits this provides.
In light of a very tight recruitment market, employers are revisiting their approach in order to retain people and be an attractive employer for new talent.
In this Forum, delegates will:
• Hear case studies from two libraries in two sectors (Suffolk Libraries and The
Bodleian Libraries). What worked well and what lessons have they learnt?
• Participate in a workshop led by workplace wellbeing consultant Claire Warner to develop a plan.
• Share their own experiences with the peers and discuss how promoting health and wellbeing will look like in the future.
As has become customary, we are pleased to
offer an optional library tour before the workshop and post-event networking over drinks.
You can book your place on the library tour and networking drinks on the Attendee Selections. There will also be an opportunity for delegates
to benchmark their service beforehand and we’ll be sharing the results of this on the day.
