Extreme Makeover: Work Edition - Refreshing Your Company Culture Webinar

Jeanne Heath, learning and engagement champion, Vizo Financial
June 27, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. ET

Why does every makeover have to be “extreme”? I guess the title “Modest Makeover” or “Subtle Shifts” just doesn’t bring in the same audience, huh? You don’t have to tear down the walls and scrap the entire building to create a fresh start, a new perspective and an environment that everyone is drawn to. “Modest Makeover” might not be a powerful title, but lasting, impactful change can come from small, meaningful choices.

Join us to discuss simple changes you can make to strengthen your credit union team, reignite commitment to your purpose and make your employees WANT to come to work each day rather than HAVE to come to work each day.

This session will discuss:

  • What is company culture?
  • Why should I care?
  • Quiet Quitting, Quick Quitting, The Great Resignation, Rage Applying. What are these terms and do I have to worry about them?
  • Where do I begin?

This webinar is designed for credit union staff that are responsible for the culture of the organization or anyone wishing to learn more about company culture.

There is no fee to attend this educational webinar; however, space is limited and registration is required. Due to this program being offered free of charge, there will be no refunds issued.
