Welcome back to another episode of the Recruitment Round-Up with Toby and Nadia at Harrington Starr.This week, the pair reflect on the lessons we can all learn after seeing worldwide efforts and campaigns to celebrate International Women's Day. Nadia asks us to reflect on what we post online in aid of this important day and to think about what we are actually implementing away from our screens to make our environments better for our people.What does your workplace culture look like after the dust settles?The gender pay gap has come into many conversations this week and Nadia and Toby contemplate how it's configured. "It’s not only what salary you come in on, it’s how open is access to promotion? Is there a level playing field for investment or getting put on the best projects? It’s about getting recognised correctly... The attribution of credit and that promotion piece is huge."What's more, the two get excited about Nadia's upcoming book launch, which takes place at Schroders' London HQ on Tuesday 15th March at 10:30am. (Yes, there are still a few tickets left and you can tune in virtually!) Nadia's book is all about advocacy for change and offers the reader opportunities to learn how to truly walk the talk for inclusion. This launch is an integral part of Nadia's journey as an inclusion campaigner, alongside her recently making the cover of Recruiter Magazine! Finally, Toby and Nadia run through their quick fire rounds including their Starrs of the week (big up Lydia and Anthony!) and what has excited them most over the past 7 days. FinTech Focus TV is powered by Harrington Starr, global leaders in Financial Tech Recruitment.

Welcome back to another episode of the FinTech Focus Podcast where Toby welcomes Kenny Eon, GM & SVP, International Sales at Emburse.On this episode, Kenny talks about how to streamline a business’ spending strategy and identified the out-dated, traditional systems that businesses still adopt today which stump growth in a post-pandemic world. The pair discussed how travel changed during the pandemic and how that impacted businesses’ views on whether certain travel is a necessity in an age where many more conferences are being held digitally. Kenny talks about the introduction of temporary spending cards for individuals travelling on behalf of a company which ultimately allows for better reporting, monitoring and responsibility on the individual. This was a direct response to the change in travel behaviour across the globe and has helped businesses have more control over a sometimes chaotic financial strategy.FinTech Focus TV is powered by Harrington Starr, global leaders in Financial Tech Recruitment.
