Big bank is cutting 200 teller, personal banking roles
Westpac reshapes its staff by interrupting 200 and a personal banker and adding 200 new positions to support home loans and small business banking.
Business -oriented Big Four Bank said he would try to keep as many employees as possible through educating and redistribution on Wednesday.
Australia’s major banks, Commonwealth Bank, NAB, Anz, Bendigo Bank and Queensland Bank announced thousands of business cuts in recent months with all shedding personnel.
A Westpac spokesman said the bank is a large Australian employer with more than 30,000 personnel throughout the country, and hired about 5,000 people in Australia last year.
“We adjust the composition of our labor force according to our investment priorities. ”
“While continuing to invest in extra bankers, other fields may need less resources.”
Westpac Retail Banking General Manager Damien Macrae said in an e-mail to employees, the decision is part of the bank’s first digital strategy.
Westpac invests 5 million dollars in the training personnel and added that in the last 12 months, 33 employees have become a home financing manager from branches and took the next step in their careers.
