SUMMARY:Senior Leaders Still Need Development And Here Is How To Tell Them!
DESCRIPTION:Leaders making their way into senior leadership in the financial sector do so because of their unique strengths; expertise\, experience\, drive and resilience. But in today’s uncertainty and complexity\, these strengths are not all particularly useful for navigating unknown contexts not seen before. Experience and expertise aren’t predictors of future and aren’t so helpful in complex situations\, when cause and effect are unclear. \nJonathan Davidson’s (FCA) speech for the 6th Annual Culture and Conduct Forum\, highlights many complex issues requiring attention from leaders – delivering social purpose\, breaking barriers around diversity and inclusion\, and defining the role of financial services in climate change and sustainability. \nIf the criteria by which many leaders were promoted is ill-equipped for today\, how can we deliver the message that they still need developing\, and specifically in sense-making skills? It’s not about loading up on more knowledge. It’s about enabling leaders to move beyond mere knowledge to develop their underlying capacity to make sense of what is happening and of themselves. Using the analogy of a mobile phone\, it is not adding Apps to the phone\, it’s upgrading the operating system\, so leaders are able to think\, relate and act on a par with the complexity they face. \nMDV Consulting has teamed up with Worksmart to help share advice on how to excite leadership in this message of life-long development. \nTo find out more and register for this webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/4316183899846/WN_vs921bXyTJ-7ZJc_346RCw \nThis event is no longer available.

SUMMARY:Virtual Conference: RegTech In The Finance & Leasing Sector\, 23rd March
DESCRIPTION:The FLA will be hosting its first remote conference in 2021 on the important subject of .Regulation Technology (RegTech) \nThe conference will focus on how technology is influencing change in financial services – both in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and in supporting the economic recovery.  As part of this\, we will discuss some of the latest technological advancements to understand how these are impacting business models and the customer journey. \nAs the UK regulatory agenda continues to evolve\, new rules and guidance are likely to be developed with technological advancements in mind.  It is\, therefore\, essential that firms are prepared to adapt appropriately\, particularly as it is clear that the current pace of change will not dissipate.  However\, these challenges have also allowed for the financial services industry to explore new and innovative ideas\, and it is inevitable that some of these advancements will revolutionise what is known as the ‘ordinary course of business’. \nThe conference will be led by speakers\, including a keynote speaker from the FCA\, who will provide a range of insights and opinions on the subject. Worksmart’s Director of Regulation and Market Engagement\, Julie Pardy\, will be speaking on: “RegTech – A brave new world or a necessary evil?” \nTo find out more about this virtual conference and to register\, visit: https://www.fla.org.uk/events-and-training/events/2021-fla-regulation-technology-conference-23-march-1453/ \nThis event is no longer available.

SUMMARY:Webinar: SM&CR Virtual Breakfast Briefing: 16th March
DESCRIPTION:The Senior Managers & Certification Regime (SM&CR) has been with us for some time now\, but should we be cautious about losing focus and our attention being directed elsewhere? For instance\, are you confident that your firm is ready for embedding the regime as expected by the regulator; in a way that becomes ‘integral to the way a firm operates and does business?’ The FCA has made it clear that the extension of the Senior Manager and Certification Regime should be about culture change and creating a culture of accountability rather than ‘tickbox’ compliance\, but the level of detail and guidance around how to achieve this is notably absent. There is an awful lot to consider in stepping up to the challenges of influencing culture\, combined with managing competence\, capability and evidencing accountability through the whole organisation. These issues continue to be points of discussion and debate for many. \nWe know from feedback after our past events and broadcasts that firms and individuals gain value and comfort from evaluating their firm’s continuing approach to SM&CR through group discussion and debate with peers. So\, join the Worksmart team and a special guest\, a leading employment lawyer in this area\, for another lively discussion and update on the key issues and considerations on this topic\, together with a demonstration of how the Worksmart Accord solution can help you and your organisation manage all of the component parts of the new Regime. \nMeeting agenda:\n• Welcome and introductions\n• A regulatory update – the very latest on SM&CR\no Directory Submission Deadlines – your commitments and are you ready?\no SM&CR in BAU – embedding and future proofing\n• Our special guest\, a leading regulatory lawyer\, will lead a discussion on the current climate from a HR and Regulatory perspective\n• Accord demonstration – how can the latest RegTech help?\n• Panel Discussion – your chance to submit questions for debate and discussion \nTo register for this free event\, visit: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-6Fc9k0eTZmPviYfSHIubw \nThis event is no longer available.

SUMMARY:Webinar: “Regulatory Predictions for the Year Ahead” - 11th February\, 11.00
DESCRIPTION:2020 was a tumultuous year for most of the UK population\, regardless of what sector you worked in. \nWithin the Financial Services Sector\, not only did we go through our first taste of lockdown like the rest of the population\, but had to do so whilst grappling with the implementation of SM&CR\, waiting for new rules in relation to Brexit\, and depending on what sector you were in\, developing new policies and approaches for dealing with all sorts of new regulatory requirements in relation to key workers\, Covid absences and vulnerability to name but a few. \nI am sure we speak for the industry when we all hope that 2020 will not be fully replicated again in 2021. But\, as we all know\, regulation doesn’t sleep and so join the Worksmart team\, together with our guest speaker Tor Connolly\, Senior Regulatory Consultant at Huntswood\, for a lively discussion and debate about our regulatory predictions for the year ahead. \nWhilst we are still finalising the discussion points\, we aim to cover key areas such as SMCR\, the Directory\, Consumer Vulnerability and Complaints Processes. \n  \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Webinar: SM&CR Virtual Breakfast Briefing: 19th January 2021
DESCRIPTION:Solo Regulated Firms have been living with the Senior Managers & Certification Regime (SM&CR) now since December 2019\, and the impact of Covid-19 means the landscape of our professional world continues to change and evolve as we all respond to the impact of the pandemic (“work from home again if you can”!). \nMegan Butler\, FCA\, recently called on firms to rethink the way they supervise staff who are working from home and the FCA has also updated its guidance on Key Workers. The challenge of certifying colleagues for the first time is looming\, the regulator continues to focus on the need for firms to act with integrity\, and those with responsibilities for competency and firms’ governance procedures continue to have heavy workloads. \nJoin the Worksmart team\, and special guest\, Marian Bloodworth\, Employment Law partner in the Financial Services group at Kemp Little\, for another lively discussion and update on the key issues and considerations on this topic\, together with a demonstration of how the Worksmart Accord solution can help you and your organisation manage all of the component parts of the new Regime. \n

SUMMARY:Webinar: “Culture\, Cynefin\, Capacity & Complexity in 2021” - 14th January\, 11.00
DESCRIPTION:Business and regulators recognise that organisations with a purposeful culture deliver better results. In the FCA discussion paper (DP20/1) of March this year\, firm after firm highlighted that defining and developing culture is easier said than done. Culture and culture development is one of those topics that defies simple silver bullet solutions. And\, in a world that gets more complex\, uncertain and volatile by the day\, we can crave simple to just make the complex go away.\n\n\nTo explore this topic we have teamed up with MDV Consulting\, a firm specialising in the assessment and development of leaders. MDV are at the leading edge of understanding how leaders can grow to meet ever increasing complexity. \nJoin us for what will be a very lively and informative debate about a topic that has come even more into focus as the events of 2020 have unfolded. \n\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Webinar - "Making T&C Work For You Post Certification"
DESCRIPTION:The FCA’s Training & Competence (TC) regime supports consumers by making sure that financial services employees are appropriately qualified and well regulated. \nThe regime itself comprises of two main components:-\n1. The high level competence requirements commonly known as the “competent employee rules” and;\n2. The more detailed requirements for certain retail activities\, including the need to attain a qualification (where relevant). \nHowever\, the landscape has become more complex since the introduction of the Senior Managers & Certification Regime which introduced the requirement for firms to have an Internal Certification Regime which also encompasses those already covered by the TC Regime. \nIn this insightful and informative webinar Chaired by Philip Allen (formerly Director of Learning at UK Finance)\, he will be joined by our Director of Regulation & Market Engagement – Julie Pardy\, and Nic Dent our Customer Engagement and Propositions Principal. They will be discussing and debating best practice\, challenges and opportunities that the new regime brings to firms and those responsible for employee competence within their firms. \nTo register\, visit: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/7816037091475/WN_ZEKU0nBCQUyr8f9KQf2mFg \nThis event is no longer available.

SUMMARY:SM&CR Virtual Briefing
DESCRIPTION:Solo Regulated Firms have been living with the Senior Managers & Certification Regime (SMCR) now since December 2019\, and the impact of Covid-19 means the landscape of our professional world continues to change and evolve as we all respond to the impact of the pandemic (“work from home again if you can”!). Firms continue to feel the impact in terms of remote working\, communication challenges and the trials of managing people from a distance. \nWe saw recently that Megan Butler called on firms to rethink the way they supervise staff who are working from home and the FCA has also updated its guidance on Key Workers. The challenge of certifying colleagues for the first time is looming\, the regulator continues to focus on the need for firms to act with integrity\, and those with responsibilities for competency and firms’ governance procedures continue to have heavy workloads. We regularly receive feedback that says firms and individuals are gaining some comfort from evaluating their firm’s approach to SM&CR through group discussion and debate with peers. \nSo\, join the Worksmart team\, and special guest\, Marian Bloodworth\, Employment Law partner in the Financial Services group at Kemp Little\, for another lively discussion and update on the key issues and considerations on this topic\, together with a demonstration of how the Worksmart Accord solution can help you and your organisation manage all of the component parts of the new Regime. \nTo register for this FREE webinar\, visit: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/8915947175457/WN_KBQFCc7RS7GN_xMXcOuAJg \nThis event is no longer available.
