Client Meetings / Travel Activities
Introduction
Most employees, not only of the financial industry, have been working from home during the coronavirus pandemic. Now banks are split over when staff should return to work and when relationship managers can resume face-to-face contact with investors and clients.
The AFBS would like to know more about how its member institutes are approaching the “new normal” and how they plan to handle in-person meetings and business trips in the near future.
