In fact, The Financial Brand’s Top 10 Retail Banking Trends and Predictions for 2018 noted that to “recruit or retain talent to meet changing needs” was one of the fastest rising priorities for their panel of financial services leaders.
The key to recruiting and retaining talent is knowing what employees’ expectations are of you. Gallup asked employees how important certain attributes are when considering whether to take a job with a different organization.

- The ability to do what they do best
- Greater work-life balance and better personal well-being
- Greater stability and job security
- A significant increase in income
- The opportunity to work for a company with a great brand or reputation
