Unlocking the Productivity Edge in financial services
The workplace is no longer just a backdrop to business. It’s a strategic asset shaping performance, culture, and long term resilience – and for the financial services sector, this is no exception. However, with our research indicating that employees in this sector are losing over an hour each week to avoidable workplace-related tasks, the question is: is today’s workplace working hard enough for financial services colleagues?
Our latest report, ‘The productivity edge: Rethinking the workplace in financial services‘, reveals how financial services organisations can transform their workplaces to boost productivity, employee satisfaction and operational resilience.
In a sector where every minute counts, wasted time translates into fee earners becoming fee burners. So, it’s imperative that firms optimise their workplaces for productivity and create friction-free environments that boost both morale and retention.
