BRAC Bank has launched a new initiative that offers personal and professional growth opportunities to its female co-workers.
In light of this, the bank aims to be a top runner in women empowerment and female leadership so that women can find the safety and confidence to lead the industry equally.
To prepare our female co-workers to take on new challenges and higher responsibilities, a cross-functional project team was formed to develop a comprehensive women's leadership development framework with a detailed curriculum called "ELEA", elaborated as Enlightened Leaders Exemplify Achievement. This diverse team, led by Farhana Sharmin Sumi, Senior HR Business Partner, brought together experts from various functions, each contributing unique insights and skills.
In collaboration with HR, the bank's internal women's forum, 'TARA', has taken this initiative to help them stick to bigger career aspirations against the reality of home and office responsibilities, which create roadblocks to elevating their career paths.
Twenty-five aspiring females will be part of this ELEA initiative. They will undergo one-year intensive grooming based on a 70:20:10 learning model with cross-functional attachments, project work, the tutelage of coaches and mentors, classroom training sessions, and workshops.
