HNB FINANCE celebrates Int’l Women’s Day 2026

HNB FINANCE celebrated International Women’s Day 2026, recognising and empowering women and their immense contribution to its workforce. 

The commemoration thus honoured their female workforce via customised interactive sessions that intended to further uphold them.

The event took place at the HNB Finance PLC head office and welcomed the participation of the female staff across their islandwide branch network. 

The participants represented staff across a wide spectrum of ranks. While the staff from branches in close proximity to the head office participated in person, the staff from other branches became a part of the event via a live broadcast. Similarly, this initiative promoted inclusivity and accessibility to all participants. 

The esteemed guests of the session included University of Colombo Medicine Faculty Psychiatry Department Senior Professor Professor Piyanjali De Zoysa. Also in attendance were HNB Finance Managing Director and CEO Chaminda Prabhath and senior management members. In addition, almost 200 HNB Finance female staff members participated and benefitted from the event.

Prof. De Zoysa delivered an insightful session on resilience and improving one’s mental health/mindfulness titled ‘The Resilient Mind’. Her session engaged the participants on recognising, accepting and overcoming psychological barriers that hinder the cultivation of a resilient mind. The session provided insight on strengthening oneself in the face of adverse conditions of life, which helped enable securing more opportunities for women.
