Financial Services: Five Principles of Effective Talent Management

How are these best-in-class organizations crafting and executing a cohesive commercial talent management strategy?

Profitable growth leaders in the financial services industries spend nearly 30% less on sales turnover and are significantly more likely to meet their revenue goals.

Alexander Group recently surveyed 250+ commercial leaders in financial services to gain their insights on the best practices for developing a talent management strategy that truly brings a competitive advantage.

The report, Five Principles for Effective Talent Management in Financial Services, is now available. Highlights include:

  • Companies that invest in employee engagement programs achieve higher customer experience ratings.
  • Financial services companies are 20% more likely than other industries to have mature and well-documented programs around providing sellers flexible work opportunities.
  • Financial services sellers have a much longer tenure than other industries, staying in their role two to three years longer.
  • Compensation is the #1 reason candidates accept hiring offers and is also the top reason employees resign; the dollar amount, however, is not the only component that matters.
