Time Commitment: 4.5 hours
Learn the science of engaging in play at work to increase productivity and prevent burnout.
Play and productivity go hand in hand. In this dynamic, interactive session, participants will discover that play is not a break from work—it is a crucial part of work! Play is a powerful tool for energizing teams, fostering creativity, and preventing burnout. Library managers and leaders will learn to incorporate playful engagements at personal, shared, and organizational levels, ranging from quick ice breakers to immersive half-day activities. Through interactive exercises, participants will explore how varying levels of energy and vulnerability can provide relief from the cycle of emotional labor and compassion fatigue that lead to burnout. Leaders of all levels will walk away with the confidence and tools to reignite inspiration and boost morale within library teams.
Please note: We know the ideas of play and vulnerability can be scary, especially in an online space, but rest assured that this course is designed to foster inclusivity and shared joy, while respecting personal boundaries. Everyone, including introverts and those who process differently, will be given clear explanations and the option to opt out at any time, ensuring a safe and welcoming environment. We hope you join us to infuse play back into the workplace!
