Dubai: Professionals in the financial services industry want to have it both ways – in fact, 81 per cent in a new poll want to work remotely at least some of the time.
But their managers are not so sure whether a hybrid work arrangement is the best deal. “While a majority of investment professionals (60 per cent) are confident in the ability of leaders to manage teams in a hybrid work environment, there is still concern that it will be more challenging for managers to be effective than in the all-remote work experience,” according to CFA Institute, an association of investment professionals.
CFA Institute, the global association of investment professionals, has released the first report in a four-part research study examining the changes that investment organisations and professionals are likely to adopt post-pandemic.
