Empowering women & embracing diversity – insights from the Satynmag AICPA&CIMA Women Friendly Workplace Awards.


The Satynmag AICPA&CIMA Women Friendly Workplace Awards celebrate organizations dedicated to fostering inclusive and empowering workplaces for women in Sri Lanka. These awards not only honor companies that prioritize diversity, gender equality, and women’s empowerment but also offer a unique opportunity for participants to gain recognition, learn from others, and inspire positive change within their organizations and beyond.

The participants of previous years of the awards have shared their experiences and insights of participation – every year, they have been sharing their own unique strategies to empower women at work and have been feted for their exceptional contributions towards supporting them.

We look back at some of those experiences shared by some of the leading organizations who were participants on the Awards.

Empowering Women and Enhancing Careers: Insights from NDB Bank:

Commenting on the Awards, Lasantha Dasanayake – Vice President Group HR at NDB Bank says that participating in the Satynmag AICPA&CIMA Women Friendly Workplace Awards was a transformative journey for the NDB Bank. “We are honored to be recognized as one of the best places in Sri Lanka for women-friendly workplaces. This recognition reaffirms our commitment to empowering women and adds significant value to our company. It reflects our ongoing efforts to enhance the careers of women, making their work experience more fulfilling. Winning this award inspires us to aim for even greater excellence, knowing that our dedication to creating an inclusive workplace is making a tangible difference.”

Inspiring Others and Driving Positive Change: insights from Unilever Sri Lanka

Empowering women and embracing diversity was a vital step for Unilever Sri Lanka. Being recognized as one of the best places for women at the Satynmag AICPA&CIMA Women Friendly Workplace Awards, was incredibly inspiring for Team Unilever Sri Lanka. “This achievement not only reflects our commitment to empowering women but also serves as an inspiration for other organizations in the country. Participating in these awards has empowered the women on our team and motivated us to continue our efforts to create an inclusive and empowering workplace for everyone. By sharing our experiences and best practices, we hope to drive positive change across the industry and beyond.” said Anjali Jayatunga of Team Unilever Sri Lanka.

Diversity as a Cornerstone: Insights from DIMO:

As an automobile company with a male dominated workplace, DIMO Lanka brought a new meaning to diversity at work with their support and encouragement for women in automobile engineering.

“At DIMO, diversity is not just a goal; it’s a cornerstone of our organization. Participating in the Satynmag AICPA&CIMA Women Friendly Workplace Awards and being recognized for our commitment to diversity and inclusion has been a source of pride for us. ” says Dilrukshi Kurukulasuriya, CHRO, DIMO Lanka.

“Diversity brings strategic advantages to our workplace, contributing to a more balanced and dynamic workforce. Our deliberate measures to improve inclusion and equality, such as recruiting female engineers and training all-female mechanic batches, have empowered women within our organization and added tremendous value to our team. Taking part in these awards has not only highlighted our efforts but also provided us with an opportunity to learn from others and further strengthen our commitment to creating a truly inclusive workplace.”

Empowering women & embracing diversity – The Rewards of Participation:

Participating in the Satynmag AICPA&CIMA Women Friendly Workplace Awards offers numerous benefits for companies. It provides a platform to showcase their commitment to diversity and inclusion, enhances their reputation as an employer of choice, and can attract top talent. Moreover, it offers an opportunity to learn from others, share best practices, and inspire positive change within their organizations and the wider industry.

The Awards also bring together symposium womens leadership, giving women the opportunity to showcase their skills and talent under the sub categories. Being seen as a women’s leadership symposium inspires growth and opportunity for women in the workplace in Sri Lanka.

The Satynmag AICPA&CIMA Women Friendly Workplace Awards 2024, as Sri Lanka’s sole diversity and women focused awards, sets the bar on recognising organisations that support women consistently. The insights shared by participants such as The NDB Bank, Unilever Sri Lanka, and DIMO Lanka highlight the transformative power of inclusive workplaces and the importance of ongoing efforts to empower women in the workforce.
