NDB Bank has renewed its membership with the Parenthood Global Association for the second consecutive year, reaffirming its strong commitment to fostering a workplace culture that supports, empowers, and understands the needs of working parents. This renewed partnership underscores NDB’s belief that an inclusive and equitable work environment must make space for the realities and responsibilities of modern parenthood.
The Parenthood Global Association is dedicated to helping organisations build family-friendly workplaces that nurture well-being, productivity, and work-life integration. NDB’s continued affiliation with this prestigious body reflects the Bank’s sustained efforts to enhance the support systems available to employees navigating both professional responsibilities and parental duties.
For NDB, supporting working parents goes beyond policy, it is an extension of the Bank’s human-centric philosophy and its commitment to creating an environment where every employee feels valued and understood. Through this partnership, the Bank continues to strengthen structures that enable parents to thrive, including flexibility initiatives, parental support mechanisms, wellness resources, and awareness-building across the organisation.
These efforts reinforce NDB’s broader Diversity & Inclusion agenda, which seeks to champion equality across all demographics while cultivating a workplace built on empathy, understanding, and opportunity. By renewing its membership with the Parenthood Global Association, NDB reiterates its dedication to ensuring that its employees—especially those juggling multiple roles—have access to the tools, support, and inclusive culture they need to succeed both at work and at home.
Commenting on the renewal, Lasantha Dasanayaka, Vice President – Human Resources at NDB stated, “Our continued partnership with the Parenthood Global Association signifies our commitment to supporting employees through every stage of life. We believe that when parents are empowered with the right systems and resources, they are better equipped to excel—professionally and personally. This renewal strengthens our journey toward building a workplace that is inclusive, compassionate, and responsive to the evolving needs of our people.”
NDB remains dedicated to nurturing a progressive organisational culture where employees are encouraged to bring their whole selves to work. By prioritising inclusive initiatives such as this, the Bank continues to lead the way in advancing the well-being of its people while upholding the values of empathy, equity, and shared success.
