Supporting Customers in Crisis - Member E-Learning
- Abigail Freeman
Covid-19 has catapulted the globe into a time of crisis, with every facet of society effected. As we start to re-build from the damage caused, the banking professional will be relied upon to support the economic life and prosperity of customers and communities.
In order to provide the right support, we need to appreciate what can cause a customer to be in crisis, recognise the impact of the crisis on vulnerability, be aware of our own behaviours in interacting with customers in crisis, and identify how we can best communicate with them and support them through tough times.
This comprehensive e-learning module Supporting Customers in Crisis will help you to provide the right support and care for your customers in the aftermath of Covid-19.
