Credit union makes training fun for staff

What childhood stories can all adults remember and relate too? Dr. Seuss of course!! AMOCO Federal Credit Union of League City, TX held its 10th Annual All Staff Training Day on January 21, 2013. Every year the Culture & Communications department pulls out all the stops to make it a memorable and educational day for everyone in attendance. This year was no different!

"Oh the places youll go with AMOCO" was the common theme throughout the day. �As employees entered the ballroom of South Shore Harbor Resort they were transported to a Seussical wonderland. �The room was transformed and lined with life size replicas of Dr. Seuss iconic books, while the head of the room was a transformed into a page straight from the books of inspiration with colorful truffula trees and Whoville homes stretching from hill to hill. The best part were the employees who showed up dressed the part.

The day started with green eggs and ham for breakfast followed by the state of the credit union address by CEO, Shawn Bailey, which highlighted the triumphs, commitments and credit union goals. The day also celebrated employees with perfect attendance; the 2011 GEM (Great Employees Matter) winner and nominees, and the CU LEAD² (Credit Union Leadership and Development) Class of 2012 graduates who completed a six month leadership program through College of the Mainland.

The second half of the day was dedicated to AWAKEN: Passion, Purpose & Productivity, an award winning staff training program which was kicked off by guest speaker Darrell Scott, who shared an emotional and touching story of his daughter Rachel Joy Scott.� Immediately following his presentation employees participated in a two hour interactive training session that opened their hearts and minds. Employees were encouraged to discover their purpose, to seek positive change, and to take immediate action by starting a chain reaction of kindness and compassion.
