For those who are in risk roles and need some levity, go to develop you and take t he required course in “making change happen”. I’d really like to know how much wf paid for this course. I’m sure it wasn’t cheap and goes to show how dumb leadership thinks we are..I’m not against change, I’m actually for it but some of these courses are done at such a dumb-downed level that it’s insulting. We’re not middle schoolers. But don’t take my word for it, see what you think! Haven’t taken the other 4 so feel free to comment if you have.

how about Charlie's video at the start of one of the trainings and the survey about it at the end? I wonder how many people are respond honestly to say they "strongly disagree" that his message was sincere (or whatever were the Qs) - still waiting for him to speak with candor and courage to employees. Maybe your LOB if different, but I am still only hearing anything about compensation external news sources and not from "leadership."
Absolutely, because all the training helped when with THAT fake accounts scandal.
Cross your arms now cross the the other way!
Wells Fargo was required to implement these risk training courses in order to satisfy an MRA levied by one of its regulators.
Wells Fargo does not care if you actually learn anything or not, despite the 80% test pass rate. Wells Fargo needs to check this item of its "to do" list to satisfy its regulators.
The material and tests are simple because the regulator did not specify how Wells Fargo had to administer the material. Only that the material be covered and employees tested.
Everyone (even the regulators) know that this training material and testing is useless in the long run. All those leaders, managers, and employees who were involved in the fake accounts scandal tool similar risk / compliance training back in the day. And see where it got Wells Fargo.
Not awesome but no worse than half of the usual compliance classes that aren’t relevant to my role.
I felt like I was being programmed.
Wow pretty harsh comments. This course is very basic and is a part of required training not optional. The new leadership has not spent any time trying to determine where WF employees were at knowledge wise so we are seeing some basic training concepts to establish a foundation. Yes watching the video and listening to the most basic concepts on change management drone on seemed to be a waste of time but it was what 8 or 10 minutes long. There are employees who will get something out of it. Veteran's wont but what's the harm.
“ So Wells Fargo provides classes you can take and learn on your own time, you think its a waste of time?”
When it’s on a subject that has no relevance to my job nor my interests and I’m forced to take it, then yes waste of my time.
More like Wells forces us to take pointless classes that insult our intelligence as a desperate one size fits all attempt to check a box
All are pretty stupud.
So Wells Fargo provides classes you can take and learn on your own time, you think its a waste of time?
I don't know about the particular course, but most are made in house. You can tell because they all have a similar look and feel now when they are made in house.
