The story
The client
As a trusted financial institution in a rapidly changing world, BMO needs to keep up with the pace of change while maintaining well built customer and employee trust. With over 50,000 employees, keeping everyone up to speed is no easy task.
The challenge
As BMO continues to grow, people are busier than ever. They have an unprecedented amount of new employees, new managers, and important information that's not communicated. The toughest part? In financial services that includes fighting fraud, preparing for new trends, and even keeping executives on the cutting edge.
The solution and implementation
With Arist, BMO has launched learning programs for onboarding, executive development, future skill building, fraud ops and awareness - all entirely via MS Teams and SMS. Global teams can launch their own programs seamlessly, while the Enterprise learning team can plan initiatives built for scale.
