The banking crisis has had an effect on every aspect of the economy and business - but what is happening within financial sector organisations?

Has the culture of the organisation changed in light of industry events, how is the business responding to the change, are new strategies being effectively implemented and how are leaders coping with taking their organisation and people through the economic crisis?

These were some of the key questions that we were asking. This inquiry has enabled us to ask senior leaders in top-tier financial institutions both in the UK and abroad about how their organisations, their people and importantly themselves are faring as we navigate through this period.

There is unprecedented pressure placed on leaders. Operating under external scrutiny, maintaining motivation and morale, rapidly responding to changing conditions and rebuilding trust amongst many stakeholders are just some of the challenges being faced.

This report has asked in-depth questions of a select group of senior financial services leaders. We aim to understand the pressures, and by understanding to stand beside the industry to rebuild faith, morale and engagement so that the banks can thrive again.
