Coinciding with International Mother’s Day, DFCC Bank recently conducted several initiatives to celebrate and appreciate all the mothers on its staff. Females work tirelessly, balancing work and personal commitments, ensuring they excel in their roles as professionals and mothers. The Bank’s Mother’s Day celebrations culminated in a special felicitation ceremony for staff mothers who have also completed 25 years of service.


The occasion served as an opportunity to recognise these exceptionally strong and resilient females while fostering a culture of appreciation and loyalty. Dedicated to diversity, equity, and inclusion, DFCC Bank strives to foster a supportive and inclusive work environment where everyone feels appreciated. Accordingly, the various Mother’s Day celebrations sent positive reverberations across the Bank while focusing on motherhood, one of the many important roles of women in society.


Commenting on the initiative, Paduma Subasinghe said: “The fact that DFCC Bank is home to so many mothers with longstanding service is a testament to the inclusive and compassionate environment we have created by providing the necessary support systems.”


The DFCC family was also introduced to the Kalyana helpline, a new initiative to support members with counselling and other required assistance. This helpline aims to provide confidential support and guidance, helping employees manage personal and professional challenges effectively.


Addressing the gathering, CEO Thimal Perera appreciated all staff member’s contributions to the Bank and highlighted that the Bank is exploring numerous ways to improve work-life balance and support staff with special requests. He emphasised the Bank’s commitment to creating an environment that fosters professional growth and personal well-being.


Going beyond the confines of the organisation, DFCC Bank also actively strives to support women and mothers through its business and financing activities, focusing on female entrepreneurship. Accordingly, DFCC Aloka, the Bank’s women-centric banking proposition, delivers a complete financial solution for women of all income levels and categories with diverse needs and backgrounds. 


In addition to financial support, DFCC Bank actively engages in various initiatives to promote financial literacy among women, providing the knowledge and skills needed to make informed financial decisions.
