Optimize Client Referrals Across Business Lines To Drive Revenue EDT: 10:00 a.m. | BST: 15:00
Financial services leaders face the critical challenge of operating in a virtual sales environment where prospects are difficult to find and engage. This makes it challenging to attract new clients and revenue to the organization. One solution is to look close to home: Other business lines within your organization often contain promising pools of potential new customers. These customers already have an established relationship with the firm, potentially increasing the likelihood of conversion. Yet, many leaders have not maximized this challenging opportunity. This complimentary webinar reveals the actions financial services leaders should take to optimize referrals across lines of business and drive growth.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in Public Sector: Strengthen Teams With Inclusion EDT: 11:00 a.m. | BST: 16:00
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) surged as a priority in 2020, driven in part by heightened political, cultural, and social movements, dramatically reshaping expectations of organizations and government. The general public, shareholders, and employees are putting pressure on organizations to craft an effective response, set ambitious DEI goals, and build inclusive work environments. In 2021, without a clear DEI strategy, organizations will struggle to deliver substantive progress on key DEI outcomes. This requires DEI goals to extend beyond the HR and DEI functions and become integrated alongside other functions’ activities and objectives. This complimentary webinar guides all public sector leaders through the steps they must take to overcome challenges and proactively drive cultural impact in their function. This includes early intervention methods, how to build a trust based culture, and how to create a psychologically safe and inclusive environment.
