It's not news to family office hiring managers that prepandemic employment challenges have only become more intense. COVID-19 just fanned an existing flame of empowerment and flexibility demands. Salary is no longer a potential hire’s biggest concern.

The way individuals are approaching philanthropy has evolved in recent years, with philanthropists taking the very best of the corporate world and adding more rigor and measurement to how they give back to social causes, reprioritizing how and where they invest, and going beyond financial contributions to direct both time and talent to their philanthropic endeavors. Against this backdrop, the emergence of the disruptive philanthropists comes to the forefront in this report to help you maximize your philanthropic impact.
The pandemic has created tremendous disruption on many levels causing dramatic changes in how we work, communicate, travel and manage risk. Our reliance and integration of technology has created data security risks across the office and family. Talent is on the move, and it remains difficult to find and retain critical employees, and where and how they work has forever changed. The regulatory and tax landscape is rapidly shifting, causing a renewed focus on longer term planning and structural changes in the office.
Family office technology continues to grow at an exponential rate. While the new technologies are exciting, many family offices are still dealing in old data methods.
