Meeting the Learning Needs of Financial Institutions

We’re helping to transform financial services training through strategic partnerships and a deep bench of experience in designing for diverse employee roles. AllenComm learning experiences target behavior-based results. We start with the performance gaps your learners may be experiencing in order to identify the necessary changes for success. 

Industry Needs for Learning in Finance

To help the financial services industry continue to evolve in response to world events and changing trends, we must first meet the needs of individual learners with respect to the impact they will make to their organization and beyond.

Organizational Needs

  • Ever expanding requirements and changes in regulatory requirements based on national and international finance law 
  • Economic uncertainty necessitates greater agility and flexibility  
  • Integrating ESG for sustainable financial investments and products 
  • Emerging technology and ongoing digital transformation due to AI, cybersecurity, blockchain, etc.   

Learning Needs

  • Strategic approaches to compliance learning that do not increase the overall training load for learners 
  • Learning curriculum that provides measurable impact and aligns with critical business outcomes 
  • Sales enablement and product knowledge training so sales can explain new offerings to customers 
  • Procedural training, including the relevant business rules, that leads to on-the-job adoption of new tech 

Solutions for the Finance Industry

For something that makes such an enormous impact on people’s lives, finance can feel impersonal and dry. AllenComm solutions are designed to accurately teach the intricacies, incorporate narrative, offer connection opportunities, and foster the proper mindset to fully engage with the training and with learners’ roles in the organization. We also provide context through realistic scenarios, so learners immediately see the relevance and how they can apply the training to their performance on the job.

Learning Solutions

  • Impact profilers to illustrate and calculate the impact and value of learner performance on clients or compliance culture 
  • Systems simulations that combine training of new technologies with performance of job functions and customer interactions 
  • Animated motion graphics to visually represent complex or multi-step processes and show the big picture 
  • Project-based learning that bridges the gap between formal learning and on-the-job performance through cohort collaboration 

Learner Outcomes

  • Reduce time to completion by as much as 50% through role-specific and personalized learning paths 
  • Increase accuracy, often by as much as 20%, with relevant practice 
  • Promote sales of new products and retain customers—one customer realized a 19% increase 
  • Reduce policy violations and mitigate risk while building a culture of accountability 

Juggling Compliance and Learning Engagement

Compliance training is an important priority for a regulated industry such as finance. In this article, we explore the use of humor in compliance training as a way to improve learner engagement—without detracting from the training and downplaying the importance of the policy and regulatory agency.
