Find Out Why Soft Skills Are Non-Negotiable in the Finance Sector
Technical proficiency alone no longer guarantees success in a finance career these days. The people responsible for hiring are putting a lot more focus on soft skills - communication, adaptability, empathy - and these are becoming essential, not desirable.
Business partnering in the finance sector is much more prevalent these days, and recently collected data only highlights the growing importance and the tangible impact these skills have on both your individual finance careers and the sector as a whole.
How to Navigate Your First 90 Days as a Manager
Stepping into a managerial role is a big moment. But let’s get one thing clear: being a manager shouldn’t be a reward for long service. It’s a job in its own right, and it demands a very specific set of skills.
The Top Six HR Soft Skills for 2025
Today’s workplace moves at an ever-increasing pace, and while technical know-how will get you so far, strong HR professional interpersonal skills are the things that build trust, encourage change, and make businesses better places to work for everyone.
The Gender Wage Gap is Still Real
We’re nearly halfway through 2025, and whilst we shouldn’t need to be still having the conversation around the gender wage gap, and how women are kept out of boardrooms and passed over for opportunities, we are. Many businesses shout the words equality and diversity from various rooftops, yet despite these good intentions, these gaps and deficiencies still exist. Let’s be fair, it’s not all doom and gloom. The gender pay gap has been closing year by year, due to changes in legislation requiring businesses with over 250 staff to report on their salaries. There are more women than ever before in senior leadership roles, and whilst we no longer scoff at the idea of women in the boardroom, there’s still work to be done. Here at Sewell Wallis, we like to talk about difficult topics, and we like to get everyone involved in these conversations.
