Competition to attract and retain the very best talent has always been fierce in the financial services industry. But the shift to the hybrid workplace has raised the bar for employee expectations of technology and flexibility. With more workers eyeing a career move than ever before post-pandemic, attracting talent now means not just paying adequate salaries or benefits. It instead means effectively meeting the needs of a distributed workforce, wherever they are in the world.

But despite the undoubted lifestyle benefits the ‘work from anywhere’ model may bring for employees, hybrid working is also creating operational and compliance challenges for the HR function as they manage data sharing regulations across borders. And in a post GDPR world, employees now expect access to their own data and employment information on demand, with mobile apps and self-service essential for building a hybrid workplace culture.

To meet these challenges, many FSIs are exploring the potential of cloud-based platforms which can provide a single view of data for HR teams along with the visibility and automation needed to provide personalised HR solutions as we transition to the era of hybrid work.

This digital roundtable with industry peers will focus on the key challenges and opportunities for HR and operational leaders as they seek to use data and new technologies to engage and retain the very best financial services talent as they build their hybrid workplace culture.
