NSB Chairperson Keasila Jayawardena, GM/CEO Ajith Peiris, Senior Deputy General Manager K. Raveendran and Deputy General Managers Christine Jesudian, Lal Karunatilaka and Anusha Fernando receive the award 

The first-ever Women Friendly Workplace Awards (WFWP Awards) 2021, jointly pioneered by Satynmag.com and CIMA Sri Lanka, was held recently at Cinnamon Grand.

IFC Programme Manager Women in Work Sri Lanka Sarah Twigg was the chief guest while the guest of honour was Attorney General’s Department Senior Additional Solicitor General Farzana Jameel PC.

With the view of identifying the organisations that encourage gender equality, 10 organisations were awarded as Women Friendly Workplaces, including that of National Savings Bank (NSB). The awards were judged by a distinguished panel of judges and audited by Ernst & Young to ensure a fair and accurate result. 

NSB, being one of the leading banks in Sri Lanka, always believes that banks have a substantial role to play 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 savings and thereby encourage them to be financially independent and shoulder the multiple responsibilities entrusted to her as a woman with confidence. 

With the recognition at Women Friendly Workplace, NSB continues to maintain the gender equality in the workplace and encourages women in all aspects to be financially independent to fulfil their dreams. Further, NSB reiterates its commitment to SDG 05, which covers gender equality and opportunity.
