Recorded Webinar: Solving the operations talent crisis

26 January 2023

With financial services in the grip of the Great Resignation, operations – a function which has always found recruitment and retention of talent difficult – is facing challenging times. Business growth is a must, but with scaling comes the cost and complexity of additional headcount. How can you ensure that these constraints don’t hold your business back?

Join this webinar with A-Team Group and Gresham Technologies to discover how financial institutions are turning to managed services to tackle the operations talent crisis.

Topics covered include:

  • Assessing the state of back-office talent: Key shortages, trends, potential challenges.
  • Analysing current operations performance and identifying troublespots.
  • Seeking to scale: How are firms experiencing major growth achieving this without significant headcount expansion?
  • Automation, control, and managing your data: The secrets to success.
  • In or out: When to consider outsourcing, when to retain tasks or functions in-house.
  • Future-proofing your operations for challenging times ahead.

Emma Beale Investment Data Management Director
