Sharing employees among several credit unions is not a new concept to our cooperative movement. But our friends at Team Danube of the Filene Research Institute's 30 Under 30 initiative are looking at the possibilty of developing the concept into a formalized national shared staffing service. And they need your help!
The shared staffing service Team Danube envisions would offer young shared employees status as consultants in their field--and provide them the potential for national travel. This would help credit unions that share staffers attract and retain young employees. On the flip side, smaller credit unions would benefit from a shared staffing service by getting affordable access to much-needed skills and knowledge.
Team Danube is wisely launching its project by seeking more information about how credit union leaders currently staff their credit unions with employees and contract workers, as well as their interest in sharing staff and in working with a shared staffing service.
Would you help them out? Tell them what you think by taking the survey here. (It's only 12 questions and the last two are your asset size and title... And please do add comments in the spaces provided. It would be a big help to them!)
If you have questions, comments or just want to know more about the project, please contact Carma Parrish, Team Danube, at 765.541.2112.
Thanks in advance!
Oh and by the way, members of Filene Institute’s 30 Under 30 Intitiative will also be presenting three of their projects at CUES’ CEO Network 2008, Nov. 2-5, Las Vegas.
