Westpac’s unrealistic home lending targets – FSU meeting

At a time of rising interest rates – and at the peak of any realistic market share – Westpac has decided to increase its sales targets for all home lenders outside South Australia and the Northern Territory.

Concerningly, not only are these unrealistic targets tied to bonuses, they could also impact the job security of those workers who struggle to meet them.

What Westpac is doing will undoubtedly lead to increased stress and poor workplace culture – and all to boost profits. We don’t have to accept this.

Home lending staff are getting together next week to discuss what we intend to do about it and how we’ll be responding to Westpac. Please register below to secure your spot.

Remember, it’s much harder for Westpac to ignore their employees when we stand together. Please forward this update to your colleagues and encourage them to attend as well.
