As the school year comes to an end and
summer quickly approaches, you may be hearing terms like “summer learning loss”
or “summer slide”. These terms generally
refer to the tendency for students to lose some of the academic skills they
learned during the previous school year.
For instance, if
employees are not receiving the training and development necessary to do their
job, they are more likely to lose their skills over time—or even leave the
company. In fact, research shows that 40% of employees who do not receive the
necessary job training to become effective will leave their positions within
the first year.
To be fully
engaged, employees need to be productively working on behalf of their
organization, and access to training and development can help. So, how can you engage your employees in
continual learning and avoid the summer slide?
One solution is
to encourage your staff to attend our lending excellence webinars, available at no charge to our credit
union partners who use our lending solutions.
Our new summer learning series is designed to help employees excel in their
role by sharing product essentials tips, such as how to recognize opportunities
to offer products.
Register for an upcoming webinar today, or check
out the full schedule of our 2018 lending and coaching webinars here.

development a top priority at your credit union and avoid the workplace summer
slide, watch this video.
