Uncovering the barriers to progression and acting on them
Socio-economic background remains one of the strongest predictors of progression in financial services.
Employees from lower socio-economic backgrounds take nearly two years longer to move from middle management into senior leadership, despite no difference in performance.
The result is clear: talent is being held back, and potential is being lost.
