The Growing Staffing Challenge in Credit Unions
For nearly a decade, credit unions have faced persistent staffing shortages and rising turnover rates. A Wipfli report in 2024 found that nearly 46% of credit unions cite employee recruitment and retention as a top concern. Leadership gaps, compliance pressures, and the increasingly competitive labor market make it harder for credit unions to retain top talent, maintain operational efficiency, and ensure long-term success.
The stakes are high. When key roles – like risk managers, compliance officers, or internal auditors – remain vacant, credit unions risk operational slowdowns, compliance gaps, and weakened member service. Without a clear strategy for identifying workforce risks and talent trends, these challenges can escalate.
But what if credit unions could anticipate these workforce risks before they became a problem?
Workforce Analytics: Tackling Staffing Challenges Head-On
To stay ahead of workforce disruptions, credit unions need real-time workforce insights that enable proactive decision-making. That’s where ZeroedIn comes in.
