Each meeting will include an hour-long presentation from a subject matter expert, followed by an hour-long open discussion focused on current events and best practices.
Speaker Details
Join Joel Hartzler for his presentation, “The Future of the Credit Union Workforce & Workplace” where he will go over:
- Attracting, Retaining, and Managing Talent in the Hybrid Era: Talent attraction, retention, and management has evolved in the aftermath of COVID and the new hybrid work era. Hybrid work presents both opportunities and risks— understanding how these risks affect employee well-being and culture is key to becoming successful in a hybrid environment.
- Data-Driven Cultures and Learning Organizations: The business environment today requires transformational change from credit unions to stay relevant—and transformational change requires a culture that encourages and supports the ability to adapt to change and the use of data to make decisions.
- Employee Engagement: To drive efficiency and growth, teams must stay engaged and aligned. Research from Filene shows that more diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplaces can result in enhanced employee experience. But one-off policies are not enough, and the most successful credit unions build employee engagement into their overall organizational strategy.
