CSE Wins Global HR Excellence Award for Innovation in Training and Development

The Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) won the award for “The Most Innovative Use of Training and Development” at the recently concluded World HRD Congress in Mumbai, India.

Attracting participation from organizations representing over 100 countries, the Global HR Excellence Awards recognize organizations and HR professionals for excellence in HR strategy and people management.

Diverse training needs and unique operational requirements call for the Training and Development process at CSE to take an innovative approach - one that embraces technology, collaboration and employee engagement.


The award is a timely recognition of CSE’s efforts to enhance functional processes to reflect the strategic importance of HR.

Commenting on the award, Mr. Rajeeva Bandaranaike, CEO of CSE stated “We are pleased to receive global recognition for our work in training and developing our employees, who are our greatest asset.


The award recognizes the breadth and depth of our innovative approach to employee development and endorses our continued commitment towards prioritizing HR as a driver for growth.


At CSE we continuously strive to drive exceptional business outcomes through innovative and sustainable HR practices.”

Prashanthi Sabesan, Head of HR at CSE said “In approaching training and development innovatively we have established processes and means by which every employee has the opportunity to be exposed to knowledge received through foreign trainings regardless of their seniority.


We have empowered the workforce to identify their individual training needs, through which targeted programs can be customized when bridging skill gaps of an individual employee, rather than approaching it in a generalized manner.


Our adoption of technology has also contributed in effectively disseminating knowledge and in enhancing the skills of our workforce.”

The World HRD Congress offers networking opportunities and unique in-depth approaches to understanding important workplace issues that affect an organization’s viability in today’s fast-paced business environment.
