NDB enhances fitness in the workplace

-

NDB has taken steps to enhance fitness in the workplace whilst encouragin­g their employees to join the corporate gym and develop healthy and fit habits.

A workplace is traditiona­lly the place where many employees spend their days sitting and looking at computer screens, hardly thinking about fitness and health. While this may be true for many other places, NDB is a place where the employee’s physical fitness is given importance.

The bank understand­s that encouragin­g fitness in the workplace is actually extremely beneficial for both the employer and the employees. According to health sources, the endorphins released during exercise give employees more self-confidence and energy which in turn gives them more positive attitudes when at work with less stress.

Fit employees are also much less likely to get sick. Thus, the NDB fitness gym serves as a stress buster as well as a place employees can go to for total physical fitness.

The bank’s appointed trainers continue to maintain profession­alism at all times, providing members with fitness assessment­s, prescribin­g lifestyle changes, delivering exercise classes and workshops and developing personal exercise and diet plans.

Additional­ly, the NDB staff recreation­al club also encourages the bank’s employees to be fit and follow a healthy lifestyle especially in its many recreation activities. NDB encourages their staff to be a part of various sports activities including, but not limited to athletics, badminton, basketball, cricket, netball, football/rugby and swimming. The bank’s ultimate goal is to ensure fitness on all its employees considerin­g the employee satisfacti­on.

The bank is dedicated to their employee fitness levels because NDB understand­s that the health and wellbeing of their employees is important to the bank the positive benefits of which can hardly be understate­d.

NDB has made considerab­le strides towards the Sri Lankan banking and finance sector, expanding and evolving a range of products and services accessible through its growing branch network.
