Data Distress: Is the Data Office on the Brink of Breakdown?

Data distress has prompted 71% of data leaders in banking and financial services to consider quitting their jobs. We discuss some new research around data burnout.

Data distress has prompted 71% of data leaders in banking and financial services to consider quitting their jobs. 

This stark statistic is one of the key findings in an extensive piece of proprietary research that Solidatus commissioned earlier this year. 

In a detailed whitepaper, we discuss the results of a survey in which 300 senior data leaders across the US and UK were quizzed on all aspects of their work. 

We explore: 

  • Why 64% of senior global data leaders within financial services firms are currently experiencing high levels of data-related stress in the workplace.
  • Why 87% say that this stress has affected their mental health and well-being, with 74% having taken sick days as a result of it, and 68% enduring 2 to 6 nights of disrupted sleep per week.
  • How you and your team can start to tackle the problem of data distress if you’re also suffering.
