Protecting Jobs A Priority At ASB
Protecting Jobs A Priority At ASB
ASB remains 100%
committed to doing whatever we can to retain as many jobs as
possible for New Zealanders right here in New
Zealand.
“During April, we confirmed publicly that
ASB would not be moving any of its banking operations
activities or roles offshore,” says ASB’s CEO, Charles
Pink. “In fact, of the 5,300 jobs in the ASB Group all
5,300 are performed in New Zealand. ASB has no plans to
change this strategy - we will not be offshoring jobs from
New Zealand to low cost countries.”
Two weeks ago ASB also announced a series of cost saving initiatives, which include pay cuts for executives and directors. These initiatives are intended to responsibly address the effects on ASB’s business of the global economic recession. “The reason for this is to keep our people in jobs. We confirm again that redundancies always have been, and will remain, a last resort at ASB.”
