Each attendee received a gift pack with a personalized card and partook in a vibrant celebration of themselves and each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The highlight of the day was a virtual event featuring the Programme Manager Women in Work, Sri Lanka for the International Finance Corporation (IFC), Sarah Twigg, on the theme \u2018Choose to Challenge\u2019 where she motivated the women of AIA by sharing real-life experiences and stories of leadership. The session was moderated by Chathuri Munaweera \u2013 Director &amp; Chief Officer- Legal, Governance &amp; Operations of AIA Sri Lanka.

Notably, a special paid leave was granted for all AIA mums, for the first day of school after the pandemic. Not to forget the host of maternity and new motherhood benefits offered that has seen 85% of AIAs female staff returning to work after maternity leave. AIA is also committed to ensuring that experienced female talent is represented at the senior management and board level while proactively enabling progression for women within the company. AIA also recently partnered with IFC to increase access to Insurance for Sri Lankan women including female entrepreneurs, while also allowing a better chance of a job in the Insurance industry.
