In my honest opinion, limiting junior bankers to 80-hour workweeks feels like spraying water on a house fire. While it's a reduction from the extreme 100-hour weeks some face, 80 hours still means over 13 hours a day, which is far from sustainable or healthy. The tragic deaths in the industry must be a wake-up call for real, meaningful change. JPMorgan's focus on well-being is a step in the right direction, but the financial sector needs deeper cultural shifts if it genuinely wants to protect its employees and create a healthier work-life balance.

Being #proactive matters, particularly in aspects that relate to our #health and #wellbeing. This news reminds us how important it is to take the steps needed: as businesses, to ensure that our programs, policies and systems consider employees’ wellbeing, and as individuals, to incorporate daily practices to take care of ourselves. Let’s #act to prevent negative consequences

Are you getting enough sleep? A recent survey by eFinancialCareers found that all surveyed financial services professionals wished they could get more sleep. While most wanted around 8 hours a night, Deutsche Bank's employees were content with the least amount of sleep. Interestingly, UBS bankers were the most demanding, desiring an average of nearly 9 hours a night. With many of us struggling to get enough rest, it's important to be aware of the impact sleep deprivation can have on our performance.

Inspired by a recent highway drive, I've been reflecting on the importance of setting limits for work output and performance. While our society celebrates achievement, there's often no guidance on when "enough is enough." It's easy to get addicted to the thrill of going beyond our limits, but this brings higher and higher risk. At AVARY Group, work-life balance is one of our core values. We don't promote over-achievement addiction. It's devastating to hear about the loss of a Wall Street banker due to long workweeks. We set realistic performance expectations and encourage everyone to work within their healthy limits. Let's prioritize our well-being and achieve success in all areas of our lives. #WorkLifeBalance #HealthyLimits #AVARYGroup

HAS THE EVOLUTION OF THE COMPLIANCE OFFICER ROLE LED TO MAJOR BURN OUT? With mental health week here, there’s been a huge discussion around well-being and burn out in the professional services industry (quite rightly so), and the article linked here is the first one I’ve read that relates specifically to the compliance field – which immediately caught my attention. Having worked in the compliance recruitment space for over 20 years, I’ve spoken to a huge number of senior compliance professionals over that time and it’s interesting to note how the role of the Compliance Officer has changed, evolved, and grown over the years. Of course, since the beginning of time the pressure has always been on the compliance team to be the “risk owner” and be able to navigate the rules and regulations set out by the FCA, however nowadays when I talk to contacts it’s about so much more that they need to do to make sure the plates are still spinning for their firms. Consumer duty, AI, continuous reporting requirements: the list of current and upcoming responsibilities is endless. So, it’s no wonder that we’re seeing burn out across the board when it comes to compliance. But what can firms do to tackle the pressure and help their compliance teams deal with the workload, especially in a tight market like today’s? Hopefully, it’s not all doom and gloom, as a recent conversation with a client showed me that there are healthy working conditions for people out there. He told me that mental health and well-being was at the forefront of his mind when it came to people management, and as a result, he was looking to onboard an extra two team members to help support the workload of his current employees. Another client, who is undergoing a recruitment freeze, told me that to prioritise mental health in the workplace her entire team had undergone mental health first aid training so that they can spot any early signs of burnout should it arise. I’m interested to hear – do you agree with the article? How can compliance teams help combat burn out in the workplace? #mentalhealthweek #mentalhealthawareness #compliance https://lnkd.in/d-padrmV
