TRAINER SPOTLIGHT Featuring… Rick Melson from MidSouth Bank

Teller Trainers are the backbone of retail banking, so in this issue of our eNewsletter we are featuring Rick Melson, Training Director for MidSouth Bank in Lafayette, Louisiana.

When asked what he loves most about being a bank Trainer, his response was knowing that you have the ability and the opportunity to make a positive impact on the company and the employee’s career. “Training our team is one of the greatest and most important investments of time and money for creating a successful future for everyone.”

Rick’s career in banking encompasses 16 years of training experience with1½ years with MidSouth Bank.

Rick’s dedication to helping associates advance in the banking industry and his desire to see them succeed led him and MidSouth Bank to incorporate BankTrainingOnline® into their curriculum. “We as Trainers must continue to look for ways to use technology to our advantage. Traditional training will always have a part in the overall scheme of training, but the traditional class room has forever changed. Thinking outside the box is a must in order to train today’s generation successfully.”

“TRC Interactive’s BankTrainingOnline® has been a major part of our overall restructuring of our training program. The online training has brought diversity and flexibility to our training program by reducing the amount of time an employee spends away from their store or department. The online program has reduced the cost of training and enabled our company to provide specialized training to employees that may not have been available to them by using traditional training techniques. The ability to track training from any distance has been a great benefit also.”

Rick enjoys computer graphic development, multimedia production, fishing, and woodworking.
