The Satynmag.com CIMA WFWP Awards have created a tremendous interest in uplifting the role of women in the Sri Lankan workplaces and empowering them for organisational, societal and economic development. The awards have fostered an enhanced awareness of the need for a women-friendly, enabling, equitable and inclusive workplace culture.

In that view, 10 outstanding organisations were awarded as Women Friendly Workplaces including the National Savings Bank (NSB). 

The Women Friendly Workplace 2024 award was received from Wijewardane by NSB GM/CEO Shashi Kandambi, DGM Treasury and International Banking Devika Silva, DGM HRD Anusha Fernando and DGM Legal Karnika Jayatilake.

NSB, one of the leading banks in Sri Lanka, always believes that banks have a substantial role in empowering women in all aspects. NSB encourages and empowers women in the bank by providing enormous opportunities to provide a better service to the nation while being successful in the role that they play at the home front as well. Moreover, NSB encourages women in society by supporting them to inculcate the habit of saving and thereby to be financially independent and shoulder the multiple responsibilities entrusted to her as a woman with confidence.
The workforce, with a 55 percent of female contribution, ensures the growth of the bank while NSB empowers young female employees to drive the bank towards its success, provided that 65 percent of the workforce between 18 and 35 years of ages comprises of female employees.
