The Next Generation Finance Workplace

Top financial services firms are taking a human centric approach to design that energizes and empowers employees to drive innovation.

The financial services industry is facing a series of disruptions that are changing the nature of work. Recruiting talented employees remains an ongoing battle between competing firms, especially as the tech sector begins to recuperate from hiring freezes and layoffs earlier in 2023. In addition, AI integration into workflows and hybrid work models present revolutionary, decentralizing changes to the way people work.

In our financial sector workplace report, the Ark Research Lab identifies how these shifts are impacting the design of the financial workplace. We leverage Ark internal data sources and HLW project experience to offer strategies rooted in measurable outcomes and real-world constraints.

In the next-generation financial workplace:

  1. Vibrant office culture wins the war for top financial talent.

  2. Finance employees have ample workspaces that support focused work.

  3. Flexible spaces enable firms to adapt to shifting market dynamics.

  4. An increased focus on ESG commitments is met with greater authenticity in the workplace.

  5. Workplace design and aesthetics are a tool for making meaningful connections with clients.
