Writing exclusively for Global Custodian, Sionic Operations Partner and asset servicing specialist Jim Monahan calls for corporate action processes to ‘wake up’ to new ways of working in the post-pandemic world. Jim writes:
“Defining the new norm will most certainly extend across all facets of our personal and professional lives as an event of this scale will create a change in the preferences and expectations of employees, employers and clients.These shifts and their impact on how we commute, how we work, and how we leverage technology will emerge more clearly over the coming months. Those industries and firm’s that reinvent themselves to make the most of this “socially distant” driven evolution toward the “new” norm will have a foothold in defining their success tomorrow.”
