Thread: Group calls on central bank to remedy the problem of insurance sales pressure on bank

BANGKOK (NNT) - Stories of a former bank employee being forced to sell insurance packages and resigning because of the pressure have circulated in the media. A network of bank workers’ unions has submitted a letter to the Bank of Thailand (BOT) calling for the problem of sales pressure at banks to be addressed.


Mr. Ong-at Senchuaichat, the head of the union’s network, and other network representatives submitted a letter addressed to BOT Governor Sethaput Suthiwartnarueput to request that the central bank moves to remedy what they said was an issue of workplace injustice. The representatives explained that banks are forcing their employees to meet sales targets for insurance packages, and performance in this aspect forms part of the evaluation criterion for salary raises and job promotions.


Mr. Ong-at said the network will push the matter to its best extent, although the group was not setting a deadline for authorities.


A Bank of Thailand executive from a division overseeing the protection of users of financial services accepted the letter on the central bank’s behalf and promised to forward the letter to the BOT governor for his consideration.
