Brandix has been recognised as one of Sri Lanka’s Most Outstanding Women-Friendly Workplaces at the Satynmag Women-Friendly Workplace Awards 2026, marking its fourth consecutive year of receiving the distinction.

Women represent 80% of the Brandix Group workforce. For Brandix, this is more than a workforce statistic. It represents thousands of women with different ambitions, responsibilities and experiences, from those beginning their careers to those in leadership.

Guided by its purpose, “Inspired Solutions, Delivered by Inspired People,” Brandix believes its role is not simply to provide employment, but to create an environment where women can build confidence, develop their capabilities and shape a better future for themselves and their families.

This belief is reflected in the Gender Equity pillar of the Brandix Inclusion, Diversity and Equity to Accelerate (IDEA) Strategy. Women are supported through mentoring, networking and development opportunities that help them prepare for greater responsibilities and leadership roles. Skill development pathways are also enabling more women to move into technical fields traditionally associated with men, including careers in operations and engineering.

Support must also reflect the realities women experience beyond their roles at work. Brandix currently provides seven onsite daycare facilities and one offsite facility across Sri Lanka, India and Bangladesh, together with dedicated lactation rooms. Support for expecting and returning mothers is also intended to help women remain connected to their careers through different stages of life.

Just as important is knowing that there is somewhere to turn when support is needed. Brandix’s Abuse and Harassment Free Workplace Policy is backed by a structured grievance handling system, 130 trained Internal Committee members and a separate Policy Governance Board that provides oversight. The Safe to Speak Up Policy and independent Ombud’s Office provide confidential channels through which employees can raise concerns. A network of 25 in-house counsellors across Brandix locations also offers support for workplace concerns, emotional wellbeing and personal challenges.

The Satynmag recognition reflects the progress Brandix has made, while also serving as a reminder that creating a workplace where women can succeed is an ongoing responsibility. It requires listening to their experiences, responding to their needs and continuing to build an environment where every woman has the opportunity to win.
