How to Fix the Financial Services Sector’s Age Problem

Description:

The financial services space has an age problem. The median age of workers in the top industries – real estate (49), insurance (44), and banking (43) – suggest a looming gap in talent from entry level to leadership, according to Deloitte. Even as the workforce ages, advanced technology is changing the job. What will financial services look like in 10 to 15 years, when masses of employees retire? How do we get this workforce more representative of regional demographics? Will technology save this industry, which is critical to every individual’s life journey?
