Abstract | Restructuring in the finance sector has involved significant change in workforce levels, layers of management, career structures and the type and nature of services provided to the community. Utilising quantitative and qualitative data from a survey of managers in one large bank plus a national survey of finance employees conducted in 1997, this chapter provides an overview of the sectoral changes. In banking the traditional employment relations are crumbling. However they have not been replaced by new human resource management strategies and for much of the 1990s the big four banks appeared uncertain how to proceed in the changing environment. |
