Finance Transformed
The financial services industry is facing a series of disruptions that are changing the nature of work. Recruiting talented employees remains an ongoing battle between competing firms, especially as the tech sector begins to recuperate from hiring freezes and layoffs earlier in 2023. In addition, AI integration into workflows and hybrid work models present revolutionary, decentralizing changes to the way people work.
In our financial sector workplace report, the Ark Research Lab identifies how these shifts are impacting the design of the financial workplace. We leverage Ark internal data sources and HLW project experience to offer strategies rooted in measurable outcomes and real-world constraints.
