Financial Services

The huge and ongoing importance attached to risk management and regulatory compliance has brought fundamental organisational change to every Financial Services enterprise, with new specialisms and skillsets required across the board – from systems and operations to market compliance, reporting, cybercrime mitigation, and business development.

In Retail Banking, new entrants arrive in the market almost every week, while the advent of Open Banking platforms have placed unprecedented technology and power in the hands – literally – of consumers, transforming relationships and elevating expectations.

Technology and service define an increasing number of roles throughout the sector, and the labour market is more competitive than at any time in memory, bringing a healthy focus on corporate culture and talent retention. Financial Services companies have been swift to recognise that understanding their employees’ values and aspirations – as well as incorporating meaningful policies on diversity and inclusion – is as important as salary packages and perks in shaping purposeful organisations that can succeed and endure over the long-term.
