HNB Assurance launches ‘in.together’ DEI initiative in collaboration with Diversity Collective

HNB Assurance launched ‘in.together’, the company’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiative, in partnership with Diversity Collective, a leading consultancy focused on creating inclusive workplaces. This collaboration is a key step in HNB Assurance’s efforts to build a company that values and respects every individual, creating an environment where employees feel supported and included.

Through this partnership, HNB Assurance will undergo a series of consulting sessions aimed at developing policies, strategies and a DEI framework that promote diversity and inclusion across the organization.

Lasitha Wimalarathne, Chief Executive Officer of HNB Assurance, sharing his thoughts at the launch event, stated, “As we continue to grow rapidly as a company, we must be more aware of how we operate and where we stand in terms of diversity and inclusion. These conversations at times can be tough, but they are definitely necessary. It is essential that we create a safe and happy space for our employees to work, where all individuals can thrive. As a company, we have always taken proactive steps towards building a strong culture and now, with our fast growth, we recognize that people contribute in unique ways and it is our responsibility to look after them. We are proud to have a team made up of all types of people and our collaboration with Diversity Collective will help us progress towards becoming a company that truly respects everyone.”
