Social and community
Volunteering
Westpac and our employees have been actively involved in the community for decades. Today, community involvement is embedded in our culture.
Many of our employees are actively involved in their local communities as volunteers, either individually or as part of their team. Westpac supports their efforts with paid leave for volunteering and flexible working arrangements.
80% of employees volunteer
Our annual independent survey, conducted by Taverner Research in April 2008, revealed that 80 per cent of our employees in Australia participated in volunteering or fundraising activities during the previous twelve months.
