A nationally recognized speaker, writer, and communications professional, Diane Pape Reed is President of CUDoctor, a full-service consultancy and training company. She is co-founder of the annual CUNA Human Resources Compliance Certification School and was VP of Sales and Administration for a mid-sized Credit Union for 10+ years.

Understand the Two Types of “Trusters” and How to Best Coach Them
Learn How to Build a “Trust Staircase”
Appreciate When It’s Time to Call in the Professionals for Help

Description:
Now that remote work has become the norm for many of our employees, the “Honeymoon Period” is over, and the stress and anxiety of limited contact with others is coming to a head. Alcoholism, drug abuse and depression are all on the rise, and surveys show a distinct lack of trust in the workplace. This discontent is showing itself in decreased productivity, decreased morale and increased absenteeism. You see, we often unconsciously interpret a lack of physical contact as a signal of untrustworthiness. Put simply, we don’t trust what we can’t see.
So, how do we fix it? Join us for this 60-minute webinar where we’ll explore how to develop and maintain trust throughout the credit union and establish management practices that unify our team and make everyone feel both valued and valuable.

Case in point… We know we’re supposed to avoid asking “Protected Class” questions during an interview, but what about the “I’m Islamic, Transgender, Indian American, 52 and Proud” poster behind the applicant on the Zoom interview? How about the employee who refuses to get vaccinated? Or the one who refuses to return to the office? What about the marketing manager who you’re pretty sure is now sharing personal private member information online? … What to do… Never has HR been so complex, and never has it been front and center stage with the litigators.
