NCC Bank recently organized a mental health awareness workshop titled “Mind Matters: Workplace Mental Health Talk for Women” for its female employees at the bank’s head office. The session aimed to promote an inclusive and healthy work environment. The workshop was conducted by Dr. Nasim Jahan, Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Psychiatry at BIRDEM General Hospital and Ibrahim Medical College.

Dr. Jahan delivered an informative presentation on key aspects of workplace mental health, including stress management, emotional resilience, and work-life balance. Participants were also introduced to internationally recognized assessment tools such as the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ), which help individuals identify and manage early signs of stress, anxiety, and depression.

The event was moderated by Nighat Momtaz, Executive Vice President and Head of Sustainable and Women’s Banking at NCC Bank. A total of 142 female officers attended in person, while others from branches across the country joined digitally. Participants described the initiative as timely and necessary in today’s evolving work environment.
