Is Caution Holding Financial Firms & Teams Back from Better Engagement?

"Cubicles are all we’ve ever known. You come in and you know you’re in finance. The fun factor is missing."

CRUX’s recent research highlights a growing challenge: lower satisfaction scores among employees in financial firms, as they struggle to find a balance between connection with colleagues and privacy.

While Activity-Based Working (ABW) has transformed workspaces in other industries—offering dynamic environments tailored to different tasks—many financial institutions remain cautious. The result? A workplace that doesn’t fully support engagement, creativity, or well-being.

Are financial firms missing an opportunity by sticking to tradition? Could a more strategic approach to ABW help retain top talent and boost morale?

Would love to hear your thoughts! Have you seen ABW work (or not work) in finance? 👇
