Talking Credit Unions with Chris Smith
EDITION 9 - Human Resources Specialists - Luxury or Necessity?
This edition asks how prepared are our credit unions for the possible employment issues that the pandemic has forced onto their businesses? Some of the changes may be positive and some may be relatively painless. However, changing a workforce to suit the new circumstances, or restructuring as it is called, is always a challenge and there are clearly good ways to do it and pitfalls to avoid.
In this podcast we will hear from credit union leaders, professionals and practitioners that have experienced considerable workforce change in their credit union careers.
On this edition you’ll hear from Marlene Shiels CEO at Capital CU in Scotland, Christine Moore CEO Manchester CU and Robert Kelly CEO from the trade association, ABCUL….and I’m really pleased to say we have Jan Coverley, probably the foremost expert on credit union human resources practice in the UK with us too.
