To: Huntington Bank Leadership

We, the undersigned employees and supporters of Huntington Bank, respectfully petition for the following changes to the compensation structure for Customer Experience Bankers:

Increase the base rate of pay for Customer Experience Bankers to $24 per hour.

• This adjustment reflects the essential role these colleagues play in enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty.
• Implement an annual pay increase that is competitive with inflation.This ensures that our wages keep pace with the rising cost of living, allowing employees to maintain a stable quality of life and focus on providing exceptional service. This annual increase shall be solely tenure based and any merit or performance based raises should be separate and unrelated. 

Rationale:

Employee Retention: Competitive pay is crucial for attracting and retaining talented individuals. A higher starting wage will reduce turnover and the associated training costs.

Customer Experience: Satisfied colleagues contribute to a better customer experience, leading to increased customer loyalty and positive brand perception.

Market Competitiveness: Many financial institutions are offering higher wages, and it is essential for Huntington Bank to remain competitive in attracting top talent.
We believe that investing in the workforce not only benefits employees but also strengthens Huntington Bank's position in the market. We urge the leadership to consider this petition seriously for the well-being of both employees and the organization as a whole.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
