From January 2014 to April 2014, Anagram Group, a training company headquartered in Singapore, conducted a global survey to gauge the training environment for banks in 2014.

About the survey

The survey was conducted by Anagram Group from January to April 2014 through a web-based survey tool.

Due to the key markets that Anagram operates in, 26% of survey respondents were from Singapore, and 21% were from the UK. The rest of the respondents were from Australia, Shanghai, Hong Kong, India, Dubai and the US.

Summary

95% of respondents believe that more training would benefit their career. 50% expect to receive more hours of training this year compared to 2013 whilst a further 30% see no change.

Due to an increased regulatory environment, the majority of this year’s training budget will go to regulatory and compliance training courses. However, if given a choice, 72% would like more leadership & management courses.
