ANZ Bank to cut 3,500 jobs and 1,000 contractors by next September amid major restructuring plans
– ANZ Bank plans to cut 3,500 jobs and 1,000 contractors by September as part of a restructure.
– The Finance Sector Union opposes the layoffs, citing prioritisation of profit over workers’ welfare.
The move is part of a broader restructuring strategy which includes the reduction of engagements with external consultants. The bank assures that frontline, customer-facing roles will see limited impact from these changes.
Matos acknowledged the challenges these layoffs present for employees, stating, “We are committed to working through the impacts with care and respect for our teams affected.”
Restructure Update
The Finance Sector Union has expressed strong opposition to the layoffs, claiming ANZ is prioritising profit at the expense of workers. The bank will incur restructuring charges of about $560 million, with further details expected in its financial results next month.
ANZ will provide a strategic update to investors on October 13. Concerns linger over how the bank will manage functions without the displaced staff, following an automated redundancy notification that sparked controversy.
