BRAC Bank prioritises staffers’ wellbeing with wellness programmes

Working in the banking industry typically involves spending most office time in a seated posture. 

Since banking is a service-oriented industry, it is essential for bankers to efficiently serve their valued customers quickly, accurately, and timely. This requires bankers to be both mentally and physically fit.

As an organization that values its people, BRAC Bank understands the significance of their health and well-being and how it ultimately affects the customer experience. As part of their company-wide wellness drive, BRAC Bank has recently implemented several new initiatives to promote the wellness of their employees.

One noteworthy initiative is the introduction of yoga classes, making BRAC Bank the first bank in the industry to offer this benefit. These yoga classes are available in-person and virtually, allowing coworkers from different parts of the country to participate.

In 2022, the bank established a fully equipped gym at its head office. Additionally, under the guidance and inspiration of the bank's senior leadership, coworkers have formed various reading clubs in different offices.

These clubs gather monthly to discuss specific books, providing a refreshing break from the daily routine and contributing to overall well-being.
