Hiring, developing, and retaining a capable team is the difference between success and failure in the competitive world of financial services – especially within the fast-changing businesses that trade in global markets. That’s why Global Trading is delighted to partner with membership organisation Sustainable Trading to create a detailed study on working conditions across the industry – and their impact on the individuals within it.
Trading employees work in a unique environment, defined by structured market hours, fast-paced processing of information, and constant communication. The Trading Employee Workplace Experience Survey, developed by Sustainable Trading, is designed to capture the experiences of trading employees in the workplace. The information gathered from the survey will be aggregated, analysed, and provided to companies in the industry to help them understand the challenges faced by their employees and how they can better support their workforce.
Duncan Higgins, founder and CEO of Sustainable Trading, said: “We are pleased and excited to be working with Global Trading on this important industry survey. Trading in global markets is challenging and competitive and demands a lot from both traders and those who support the trading process.
“In such a demanding and high-pressure work environment it’s important to understand the impact on the individuals working within it. We hope this survey will provide detailed insights into the challenges faced by employees and support employer best practices in the global markets trading industry,” Higgins added.
Please take a few minutes to complete the survey here. All answers are anonymous.
By taking part, you will have the opportunity to voice your thoughts concerning your experience as an employee in the global markets trading industry. Sustainable Trading has worked with more than 60 firms in this industry to identify the themes and trends that affect employees’ experiences in their place of work. Now, we need to hear from the employees themselves to produce an industry report on what they need to thrive. The data will also help support Sustainable Trading’s Best Practices, and will support future iterations of the Best Practices.
Results will be published exclusively by Global Trading upon completion, so watch this space.
