Join Dawn Vogler for part two of her talk with Julie Todaro on staff conduct policies.  In part one of this podcast, Julie discussed her famous LAMA article called, "Reasonable Expectation of Adult Behavior," introduced the concept of staff conduct policies and then talked about when a manager might consider a policy like this for their organization.  In this episode, we talk with Julie to find out the specific categories managers might want to address in their staff conduct policies.  They also cover some issues around how employees dress for work at the library and whether or not such a policy can help clarify certain employer expectations.  View Julie's handout on staff conduct policies here.
