Sysco LABS announced its recent recognition within the top ten of Sri Lanka’s most outstanding women-friendly workplaces at the prestigious “Women Friendly Workplace Awards”.

Organized by Satyn Mag in collaboration with CIMA and AICPA, the awards celebrate organizations that go above and beyond to champion women in the workplace. 

Chaired by an eminent panel of judges, the platform is designed to recognize sustainable and meaningful measures taken by organizations to improve their policies and programs to empower Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and invest in the career progress of women.

Speaking about the achievement, Sysco LABS Managing Director Rasika Karunatilake said, “This recognition is a reflection of our commitment to nurturing and developing women leaders within our organization. It’s an effort that is strongly supported by our parent company, Sysco. 

Awards like these inspire us to continue improving and setting higher standards. We have invested significantly in programs that enable women in our workplace to evolve as leaders and we have provided them with the necessary support to balance their work and life commitments.”

Sysco LABS is an equal opportunity employer, focused on creating more opportunities for women to join the country’s tech workforce. The company has introduced multiple programs over the past year to train and upskill women to take on leadership roles.

Director Rehan Anthonis, speaking about the award said, “Diverse perspectives in the workplace are proven to be a crucial ingredient for an organization’s success. At Sysco LABS, our commitment to women’s empowerment is solidified through initiatives like Sysco LABS APEX, our women in leadership program, which trained 60 women to become impactful leaders. We also have the Sysco LABS Women’s Forum which provides a space for women to discuss shared experiences and gain valuable insights. 

These are a few of the initiatives we drive that reflect our dedication to creating an inclusive environment. By prioritizing a people-centric, nurturing strategy, we focus on attracting, retaining and advancing women, ensuring they are empowered to lead effectively and thrive in the workplace.”
