Baiduri Bank presented contributions from its employees to the Centre for Children with Special Needs (KACA) and Children’s Cancer Foundation (YASKA) yesterday through their Employee Wellness Initiative (EWI).
Throughout the month of Ramadhan, the EWI conducted a campaign in conjunction with the bank’s annual ‘Let’s Give Back This Ramadhan’ initiative and in line with their core values of inclusivity and empathy.
The initiative allowed employees to pledge BND5, BND10 or BND20 to purchase shopping or stationery sets for 50 underprivileged families identified by the Ministry of Education.
The bank’s Acting Head of Group Human Resources at Baiduri Bank Chiam Chin Huei emphasised the importance of fostering a culture of giving back and supporting the broader community within the organisation. She said due to the overwhelming response to the initiative, the bank was able to carry out a second donation.
“We encourage our staff to continually seek opportunities to make a positive impact, not only as bank employees, but also as responsible and caring members of the society.”
Employee Relations and Governance Officer of Group Human Resources Haji Mohammad Yazid bin Haji Abdul Ranni said, “To determine the beneficiaries of these donations, a poll was conducted within the bank.”
President of KACA Dato Paduka Haji Zainal bin Haji Momin and President of YASKA Tsara’ Nwarrah binti Abdullah Chen received the BND1,000 donations at the organisations’ centres.
