Create a list of resources for new employees, to support successful onboarding. This list was created by crowdsourcing ideas from employees.
We reviewed previous Library working group reports on inclusive recruitment and retention, and newly available information, such as the 2020 CARL document, Strategies and practices for hiring and retaining diverse talent, and conducted an environmental scan of recent internal and external job postings related to descriptions of job location. We then created a revised set of recommendations specific to creating more inclusive UBCO Library postings, which we shared with the Associate Chief Librarian and the Operations Leadership Team, and posted to the Library intranet.
