Field Wants

To switch things up. I have a question. I'm not ELT, not a GP, nor high ranking DL. I'm just a professional associate in my 30s with 15 years experience at this firm and industry. I am in FA facing role, so we have most likely have spoken.

I am curious to what the field actually wants HQ to look like or be. I'm sure you have answered, but I'm not in a position to see those answers. Since this is all anonymous, I figured I could get good perspective. Are service areas still valued? Or should HQ just provide tools and tech, then you at the branch will perform the OPs work?

Should the firm abandon compliance and legal and push risk onto each individual branch?

I know you FAs give up a big portion of pay, so I am just curious and how you envision a Home Office environment if one at all?

After Tuesday things are changing. Maybe for the HQ associates still around, the answers you provide could help. I know I don't mind constructive criticism. But we ultimately have an HR department, so we may not always hear real opinions. What are some real talking points and opinions from the field about HQ?
