The Wests Values Awards
The Wests Awards Program was initiated in 2018 to recognise employees who have demonstrated the Wests values across a number of categories.
Innovation and Change – We are innovative and embrace change.
Community – We build strong relationships and a sense of belonging.
Business Growth - We are passionate, determined and pursue growth.
Service - We deliver joy through service. We make the little things count. We make positive experiences and long lasting memories. We are honest, open and we smile.
People and Safety – We celebrate our diversity.
Each year, we invite employees to nominate colleagues who demonstrate our values through their everyday work. This peer-to-peer nomination process reflects what we are most proud of – a workplace where people recognise, support and celebrate one another. Following nominations, a shortlist is reviewed by the Executive Management Team, who select the recipients in each category.
