DESCRIPTION
This presentation will review the findings of a research study conducted during the Spring 2021 semester that sheds some light on the correlation between onboarding new employees at the time of hire and onset of the symptoms of burnout. We interviewed four librarians from the California State University (CSU) system, and the findings show that a lack of formalized onboarding has a direct impact on the wellness of the librarian. Themes discussed in this presentation such as onboarding mechanisms, peer to peer support, unclear expectations of the job, and feelings of cynicism/disillusionment have a direct impact on successfully introducing a new librarian to any organization.
