Investing in leadership at all levels

We are striving to be the best place to work and know we can't expect to have the best people unless we have the best leaders who are set up for success. We invest heavily in supporting our leaders to develop and offer a suite of programs and learning opportunities to support them. Additionally, we have market leading leadership development programs targeted to all levels of leaders including:

• Horizon Program: Tailored for General Managers, this program focuses on enhancing leadership impact, building strategic relationships, and driving our goals.
• Elevate Program: Aimed at senior leaders, Elevate provides opportunities to refine leadership skills, build stronger relationships, and achieve strategic objectives.
• LEAD Program: Designed for a broad range of our people leaders, the largest cohort at Westpac, LEAD works to equip participants with the skills and knowledge necessary for success in their roles and prepares them for future opportunities.
• Women at Westpac Programs: Providing our people with the critical skills, coaching, and sponsorship needed to help them to advance to the next level in their careers.

In addition to these structured programs, we provide formal and informal mentoring opportunities, focusing on building more diversity into our leadership ranks.

Investing in our leaders is an investment in the future of our company. By setting high standards for our leaders and supporting their development, we are driving Westpac towards our goal to be our customers’ number 1 bank and partner through life.

Power to learn what you want, when you want to
