London, UK -- (SBWire) -- 05/26/2022 --Thanks to the pandemic we have seen a fundamental shift in the way that people want to work. Asset management is an industry that has experienced expansion and prosperity during the pandemic - private capital returned 15.5% in 2020 according to a Deloitte report, and is likely to continue to see positive growth in assets under management in 2022. However, to a certain extent this ongoing growth is going to rely on how willing organisations in the industry are to evolve and adapt the way asset managers work going forward. In particular, there is the need for a focus on more flexibility, such as robust working-from-home policies, as well as the infrastructure to support this. More training and development have also become a priority for those working in asset management and strategies to communicate values will be key to staff engagement. As for many enterprises today, asset management firms also need to have a clear focus on more diversity and robust policies and strategies to make this happen.
