Community Banker University is proud to partner with subject matter experts on topics that go beyond the scope of banking fundamentals. On Aug. 18, we launched new courses that focus on topical concerns of the day.

Even with business continuity and disaster recovery plans in place, some banks have recently been forced to implement policies and procedures that they were not prepared for.

Community Banker University® has noted an uptick in the number of bankers completing online training. Unfortunately, we have also seen a few instances where bankers are completing courses, but the system is not marking them as closed.

This month CBU updated courses affected by pandemic regulatory changes . We're also excited to announce that only last week, we added some brand-new courses to our online training catalog.

Due to what we expect is the result of an unprecedented number of community bankers working from home and reduced foot traffic in-branch, Community Banker University experienced an exponential surge in course enrollments for the month of March.

In this time of uncertainty, you may have employees who are unable to perform their daily job duties because they are working from home or your lobby traffic has decreased dramatically.

You already know that your online training subscription allows you to assign, track, and manage your employees’ federally-mandated training, but did you know that you can also use this platform to create greater job satisfaction, reduce employee turnover, and nurture talent in your bank?

In the wake of #MeToo, a growing number of U.S. states are enacting their own harassment and discrimination prevention laws. California and New York are notable examples; both states have implemented reforms requiring mandatory employee and supervisor training with specific content and/or timing requirements.

Happy Holidays from Community Banker University! It’s the end of the year when many employees are feverishly trying to complete their required annual training (and their administrators and supervisors are hounding them to do so!) In this month’s newsletter, we would like to offer a few reminders and helpful hints to help you efficiently finish out the calendar year and lay the groundwork for the year ahead.

Community Banker University® has launched three new cyber and information security courses (and updated some of our existing courses) to help ensure that your bank and its employees are prepared to anticipate and mitigate threats.
