June 2023 marked the first time since January 2022 that the Fed didn't raise rates, but instead put a pause on them.

One of the most powerful levers any manager can pull to increase engagement is one that leverages the strengths of an employee. If you define a strength as a part of work that you’re good at and enjoy, it’s not hard to see why this one action can significantly impact people’s enthusiasm for their job. Unfortunately, only 33 percent of employees in the U.S. get to do what they do best every day. Why is that?

If your team members aren’t growing, neither is the credit union. Unfortunately, growth and development, while noble goals, can be easier said than done with tight budgets and precious little time available for such activities. Despite the odds, we must figure out ways to help our people grow. For their sake and ours. Most people want to feel competent and confident when they come to work. If we aren’t developing people, their confidence can erode as they become unsure of their decisions. This second-guessing can eventually lead to not making decisions at all, which can impact co-workers and members. Additionally, many national surveys repeatedly mention a lack of development opportunities as one of the top reasons people leave their jobs. If we’re not growing people, they’re going.

The evolution of the American workplace has been extensive – with the move from in-office cubicles to home offices and the transition from hierarchical leadership to servant leadership. But, perhaps, the most significant change has been to the way we perceive and acknowledge the identities and beliefs of our colleagues through the idea of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Since embracing DEI as the eighth cooperative principle, credit unions have strived to create workplaces that are equitable and welcoming to all, no matter their gender, religion, sexual preferences, race and so on…and it’s a movement that is only growing stronger. In this session, Vizo Financial’s resident DEI expert, Erin Doan, will take a look at the many ways credit unions can continue to incorporate and emphasize DEI in the workplace now and for years to come.

At work, many of us feel unsure of ourselves during the course of a day. Situations arise which have us questioning how we handled an interaction, completed a transaction, or answered a question. Beyond the technical component, there is the emotional aspect that leaves us doubting and feeling slightly incompetent. We are weakened, not strengthened. When we feel weak, we’re not as productive because we can hesitate and second guess ourselves before, during and after taking action. Many times weakened employees distract colleagues with their need to replay scenarios and justify their actions. The antidote is to look for ways to proactively strengthen our confidence and the confidence of others, so we are immune to self-doubt and internal criticism.
