About This Episode

One of the biggest challenges facing advisory firms is growing their human capital – hiring and retaining the best people. As in any service-oriented profession, there is no substitute for motivated, intelligent workers with a team-oriented attitude. Add to that the facts that the pandemic has expanded the need to communicate with clients in a remote work environment, and the job market has tightened with many more vacancies than workers seeking employment. My guest today will discuss how advisory firms are solving for that human capital challenge.
