New CUES membership benefit helps human resources pros evaluate and guide staff learning.
By Lisa Hochgraf 
My son had a good time recently looking through my high school report cards. Like he does now, I got pretty good marks in my classes back then. Well, with the exception of gym. (See photo evidence.) Indeed, compile anyone’s report cards and you have an interesting picture of their learning--what courses they took and which they excelled in.
Looking back on my report cards certainly helped me take stock in what I did way back when. These kinds of learning records are ripe for use by high school guidance counselors when helping recommend next courses of learning—or colleges—to their students. Course records from many different students, once compiled, can also help educators plan which courses to offer next.
Similarly, CUES Learning Tracker can be a useful tool to credit union human resources leaders. A cutting edge benefit of CUES membership, this system records attendance at CUES learning events, plus online learning, including articles read and videos watched. The data compiled in CUES Learning Tracker can not only help a particular employee take stock in what learning he or she has done, but also aid a human resources pro in getting a global picture of what learning is going on at the credit union.
Notably, various “cards” in the CUES Learning Tracker system let the administrator see what learning activities staff are undertaking, who are the most active learners, what content items are popular, and what ways staff members prefer to learn (such as videos, articles or conferences). This data can then be used to help individual learners decide what to learn next—and to help establish overall, organizational learning needs.
To get a copy of my high school transcript, I’d have to make a call back to my hometown of Oregon, Wis. To become an administrator of CUES Learning Tracker for your credit union, simply call CUES at 800.252.2664, ext. 340. It’s free with your membership!
