- Select quotes and insights:
- Importance of listening, especially for leaders, to create an environment where people feel comfortable to speak up, share their experiences, and provide meaningful challenge. This fosters diversity of thought and helps to drive better outcomes for firms and their customers.
- Companies should ask tough questions when assessing the fitness and propriety of staff in financial services. The FCA views culture as crucial for confidence and can dictate bottom lines.
- As Warren Buffett said: 'It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently.'
- On Culture:
- Culture remains central to our supervisory model and underpins conduct and therefore business performance and confidence.
- Culture is not just the slogan on your website. It is the very essence of what your organisation stands for, embodied by how it conducts itself.
- Increasingly, investors are demanding that they put their money towards 'doing some good’ for people and our planet.
- On recruitment: A recent study by Workplace Intelligence found that 74 % of millennial and Gen Z employees would quit a job in a year if there were no opportunities for upskilling and development.
