Launched in 2018, the ‘CEO’s Club’ Awards organised annually by AIA Insurance for DFCC Bank staff, has since been held in grand style each quarter.
The event recognises and celebrates DFCC’s staff on their exceptional achievements in providing protection to the Bank’s customers by introducing AIA’s insurance solutions.
Despite the limitations posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, the management of both DFCC and AIA were determined to continue the tradition of much deserved recognition for the DFCC staff who have excelled in providing insurance solutions to customers. As the first ever virtual AIA-DFCC CEO’s Club Awards Night, the event was held on Microsoft Teams. This pioneering event connected fifteen locations simultaneously, taking digital adoption to a new level, to celebrate award winners. Fifty-four CEO’s Club winners from across the island were recognised at the virtual Awards Night, for their achievements in 2019, with six others getting special recognition for their contribution as well.
The top ten performers were Samitha Jayathilake (Kottawa branch), Chamindu Anjana (Hikkaduwa branch), Dilini de Silva (Moratuwa branch), DinushaJayathilaka (Anuradhapura branch), Nuwan Abeywickrama (Kiribathgoda branch), Anjalina Kumarihamy (Piliyandala branch), Dilanka Jayawardena (Kaduwela branch), Lahiru Madushan (Central Sales Unit), Paskaranathan Ghengatharan (Kotahena branch) and Lakshman Thambiraja (Batticaloa branch).
AIA CEO Nikhil Advani said, “AIA are pioneers in Bancassurance in Sri Lanka and DFCC is one of our most valuable partners. Together over the years we have created a strong bond, driven by the common goal of providing protection and financial security to our customers.”
DFCC CEO Lakshman Silva said, “DFCC Bank, one of the oldest development banks in the country and now a full-service commercial bank, has had many trail-blazing initiatives. We entered into a partnership with AIA with the objective of enhancing our customer value proposition- and over the years have complemented each other, bringing exceptional value to customers.
