COURSE OVERVIEW
The FCA rules make it quite clear. Anyone tasked with supervising employees of a financial services firm is expected to have ‘the necessary coaching and assessment skills as well as technical knowledge to act as a competent supervisor and assessor’.
You are expected to correctly monitor and assess the competence of those individuals for whom you are responsible. So firms must ensure they are doing everything required to carefully select and develop those in a supervisory role.
Yet far too many firms rely on appraisals and file reviews as the main tools to establish competence. The regulator deems this approach insufficient.
Training that’s about more than the regulations
This course is not just about helping you meet your regulatory requirements. Becoming a more effective supervisor can also have profound effects on the success of your firm and, as a result, your career.
Help people reach their potential – Good coaching can be transformative. By learning tried and tested coaching techniques, you’ll be better able to improve the performance of others (and that makes you incredibly valuable to any firm).
Avoid the wrath of the regulator – While there are no specific qualifications required by the FCA for those in a supervisory position. Poor supervision of employees that leads to negative customer or industry outcomes will have serious repercussions.
Become a more efficient supervisor – Your employees should always be supervised. But how closely depends on their experience and whether they’ve been assessed as competent. By gaining a better understanding of the regulator’s expectations, you can more efficiently allocate your supervisory time to those individuals who need it most.
Improve communication within your firm – Improving your skills as a supervisor helps open the channels of communication between employees and management. This leads to a greater awareness of issues, allowing you to combat them more quickly.
