As we look to grow and develop as a business, we are excited to support Progress Together’s Making the Invisible Visible campaign launch.

Data shows that high-performing employees from lower socio-economic backgrounds take nearly two years longer to progress from middle to senior roles compared with colleagues from higher socio-economic backgrounds despite no link to performance.

Overlooked talent leads to disengagement and unrealised potential. A sector defined by risk management, capital allocation and productive investment must see this as a source of untapped potential.

The campaign will uncover barriers to progression across the financial services sector, with industry leaders helping to shape the narrative and define what fair progression looks like today, tomorrow and in the years to come.
