Navigating the Storms of Disruption in Financial Services 2023 | CGG Connect Global Group | 8 March 2023 | The Helicon, 1 South Pl, London EC2M 2UP, UK

This event is at a tipping point. To navigate the current economic uncertainties of recessionary and geo-political trends that are impacting businesses in the UK today, companies need to continuously reimagine their futures, build resilience, grow organically and inorganically in a sustainable manner - while being environmentally conscious all the time.

Changing technology and workforce gaps mean Financial Services firms need to rethink their approach to recruitment and talent management to minimize the impact on the customer experience. To remain competitive, companies need to embrace a mindset in which technology supports and enhances both the employee and customer experiences, while also providing deep real-time insight into financial performance — helping them drive better and faster decision-making and outcomes to stay ahead.

Rethinking the employee experience from the ground up starts with connecting the workforce to the company purpose, values, and culture. Commitments to ESG initiatives and DE&I strategies also drive a strong employer brand and employee experience, as well as ensuring that stakeholder and compliance requirements are met.

Key Takeaways:

• Shared knowledge with peers and industry thought leaders on experiences and challenges.

• Using technology and data to react rapidly to changing business conditions.

• Cultivating and retaining talent for future success.

• Accelerating transformation using technology.

• Best practices for ESG reporting.
