Consumer Duty: how do we bring everyone on the journey?

In the fourth blog in our series on Consumer Duty, Rob Sargent, Financial Services Regulatory Senior Manager, this time focuses on the importance of engaging staff. This requires firms to bring staff along as part of the Consumer Duty journey, if businesses are to deliver fair value and good outcomes for customers.
