Union Assurance, Sri Lanka’s longest-standing private life insurer, recently hosted a one-of-a-kind art therapy event at its head office, reaffirming its commitment to employee well-being. Aligned with the company’s purpose of protecting lives and enriching well-being, the initiative was designed to help team members unwind, reduce stress, and reconnect with their creativity through guided artistic expression.
Titled ‘Paint to Express’, the event invited employees to bring to life traditional Sri Lankan masks, a vibrant symbol of the island’s cultural heritage. In a remarkable display of imagination and craftsmanship, participants showcased their unique interpretations, transforming the session into a celebration of self-expression.
