BUSINESS PROFILE
AUTOMATION IS WHAT GIVES FINANCE PROFESSIONALS THE ABILITY TO ACCESS AND INTERPRET DATA MORE EASILY AT SCALE . the right way . They can learn to trust and rely on us because we ’ ve earned it . Even more so , we can establish that we ’ re a finance department that leads and runs with integrity to all of our stakeholders .
What changes to your job role have you seen in the last year and how do you see these developing in the next 12 months ?
For many women or less experienced employees , it can be hard to establish boundaries and really unplug when the workday is over .
Overall , the finance career landscape is very different today from when I started 30 years ago .
As CFO , that also means my role has changed quite a bit . Coming out of the pandemic , we ’ ve seen that having a healthy work-life balance has to be a main topic of conversation . Burnout is a real concern and especially in departments that are more behind the scenes – balancing the books and determining the strategic direction of the company .
As a leader , to address this issue , one change I ’ ve made is to check in on my teams to see how they ’ re doing . Are they ok emotionally ? I make a comfortable space for employees to talk about their mental health and well-being and encourage my peers to do the same .
This is something we never would have done years ago , but we must change to fully embrace those who work with us . If we don ’ t adapt how we lead , I believe we ’ ll see issues with burnout continue on a wide scale throughout our organisations . x
