We worked with the Deloitte Center for Financial Services on “Employee Engagement in Financial Services” study to understand issues around work arrangements, engagement, belonging, industry sentiments, remote workplace impact, career advancement, manager evaluation, employee expectations, reasons for possibly leaving, and work-life balance. In April 2023, 700 full-time executives with job titles of manager or equivalent and above, exclusive of CXO officers, in U.S. financial services organizations were surveyed.
