Navigating the Superannuation Talent Market with Victoria Butt, Parity Consulting
Description
#14. Cohosts Neil Benson and Sarah Penn are joined by Victoria Butt, CEO and founder of Parity Consulting, to unpack the latest trends shaping the talent market as we head toward 2026.
Highlights
Drawing on fresh insights from nearly 5,000 industry professionals, they discuss the shifting priorities of Australia's financial services workforce, the surprising dynamics around return-to-office mandates, and the ongoing impacts of mergers and acquisitions in superannuation.
From the rise of exciting projects as a top motivator to the persistent importance of remuneration, Victoria sheds light on how macroeconomic factors, AI, and company culture are redefining careers in the sector.
The conversation also touches on the growing demand for adaptable leaders, the under-recognised power of mentorship in data roles, and the critical need for organisations to address burnout and investment in career development.
Whether you’re interested in the future of work, looking to progress your career, or simply wanting to stay ahead in the world of super, this episode is packed with valuable insights you won’t want to miss.
