Financial services (FS) are on a digital transformation journey. However, before COVID-19, this journey focused mainly on customers, moving their activities from in-person to online.

As we enter the beginning of the end of the pandemic (or is it the end of the beginning?), 80% of CEOs are worried about skill shortages and recruitment.

Between 2019 and 2020, productivity at work increased by 197%. In a year characterized by a rapid shift into remote work and its corresponding digital tools, it’s clear that many people are working harder – or at least more – than ever.
