Considering A Career Move In Financial Services? Now Is The Time
There’s no denying it; the US economy is going through a time of uncertainty, with shockwaves still rippling through the nation?as a result of the pandemic ?the challenges of rising inflation, ensuing increases in the cost of living, and the war in Ukraine, just to name a few.
However, the outlook isn’t totally bleak.
The?International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects ?that while the US economy will slow this year and into 2023, the country should avoid a recession if inflation decreases. There are, of course, risks that this may not be the case and the administration will need to implement robust measures to avoid it, but this shouldn’t stop financial services professionals who want to make a move from seeking new opportunities within the industry.
Why? I’ve outlined six reasons below.
6 reasons to seek new opportunities in Financial Services
1. Financial technology is rapidly changing?
Technology is becoming increasingly disruptive ?in financial services. This transformation provides opportunities for business growth, and therefore new employment opportunities. Fintech start-ups continue to push boundaries, and in turn, that pushes the big players into new digital realms. The financial landscape is changing,?financial services’ future is being rewritten , and firms need the people who can drive this change at an enterprise level.
For example, the blockchain is likely to become more embedded into financial operations over the next few years, which will create a need for human resources.
At Hanover, we’re seeing the need for technology leaders with financial services industry experience now more than ever, as companies look to adopt new technologies and stay ahead of the curve.?

8 Behaviours to Contribute to High Performance and Practise Inclusivity in Leadership
Inclusive leadership is not a destination. It’s a journey that requires humility, curiosity and courage - THAIS COMPOINT
This quote is something that resonates with me. When I was carrying out my research as part of my MSc in Organisational Psychology, one of the themes that came out of my work was that Diversity & Inclusion are often seen as a destination – something that can be “fixed” once and for all. The deployment of DE&I (DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION) strategies, whilst well-intended, often becomes a box-ticking exercise and senior leaders end up focusing on simply meeting targets - which are sometimes associated with their bonus.??
?But what is it that we are trying to fix? In my research, diversity is constructed as happening outside of and in relation to the dominant group. That is being “different” from the dominant group is associated with “being deficient”. For example, we often refer to women as “lacking” the right skills or the confidence to pursue more senior roles. By doing that, we easily forget the wider socio-structural forces at play that are deeply rooted in history.?
?And with a focus on this “deficiency rhetoric”, well-intended empowering strategies are deployed at an individual level to “correct” what is missing – i.e., “equipping” individuals with the “right” tools. From this conceptualisation of the workforce, inclusion is only made possible if individuals conform to the ideology of the ideal worker and engage in behaviours expected by the norm to become successful.??
?So how do we ensure, as an organisation and as leaders, that individuals do not downplay or conceal aspects of their identity, experience, values, and culture, to fit in? How can we drive an inclusive culture??
