At a glance

To combat financial crime in today's complex regulatory landscape, a leading financial services company needed to reskill employees and ensure they were equipped with the right skills to
mitigate risk.

Using SkyHive Enterprise, the company leveraged skills data for its internal workforce and external landscape to steer curriculum and learning content development.

The company increased training completion rates, bolstered its anti-financial crime capabilities, and reduced write-offs and regulatory risks.

As perpetrators become more sophisticated, it has become increasingly
important for financial institutions to:

Understand and address financial crime skill gaps to mitigate risk and upskill the current workforce.

Continuously benchmark internal skillsets against the external labor market to hire or retain specialists.

Leverage real time skills data to assign training, bridge gaps, and track progress.

“Developing a long-term strategic plan that creates a legacy for your financial institution starts with retaining top-tier talent who feel appreciated and animated about your company's focused purpose."
