Why this guide matters
Financial services employ over 2.5 million people, but persistent issues like bullying, harassment, discrimination, and misuse of NDAs continue to put employees and firms at risk. The FCA’s new NFM rules extend regulatory scrutiny to all types of serious misconduct, inside and outside of work, for thousands of firms.
With less than a year until the new rules come into force, early adopters will not only reduce regulatory risk but gain a competitive advantage by embedding a culture of integrity and trust.
