NCC Bank recently organized a mental health awareness workshop titled Mind Matters: Workplace Mental Health Talk for Women” for its women employees at the Head Office, reaffirming its commitment to fostering an inclusive, supportive, and healthy workplace environment.

The session was conducted by renowned psychiatrist Dr. Nasim Jahan, Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Psychiatry at BIRDEM General Hospital and Ibrahim Medical College. She delivered an insightful presentation focusing on key aspects of workplace mental health, including stress management, emotional resilience, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Participants were also introduced to internationally recognize mental health assessment tools such as the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ). These tools help individuals better understand their mental well-being and support early identification and management of stress, anxiety, and depression. The workshop was moderated by Nighat Mumtaz, EVP and Head of Sustainable and Women’s Banking at NCC Bank.

A total of 142 women officials from NCC Bank participated in the session, while female employees from branches across the country joined virtually through digital platforms. In the context of today’s evolving workplace dynamics, participants highly appreciated the initiative, describing it as both timely and essential. Through such initiatives, NCC Bank continues to demonstrate its strong commitment to employee well-being and the promotion of mental health awareness across the organization.
