Why is this picture of me and my kids relevant? Because they are Generation Alpha. They are part of our future workforce. In Financial Services we are facing a skills crisis as 3/5ths of the qualified adviser population plan to retire over the next decade, yet businesses are not up to speed on replacing this skillset.
The impact this has on us as an industry is enormous and I am one of many championing the cause to raise the motivation in businesses to train and develop new talent. To create a pipeline of talent. To assist with this the industry needs to look cooler, display more freedom, diversity, and show students that Wealth Management is a great career choice and provides huge opportunity.
Please see attached the article I recently did for the Financial Adviser magazine to help businesses see how and where to go with this. As always, happy to help businesses get together their growth strategies and work with them in the implementation of that. Together we can achieve greater things.
