Faysal Bank Limited has received the Employer of Choice Gender Diversity Award 2026 in the Family-Friendly Workplace category, recognising its efforts to promote inclusion, employee well-being, equity and work-life balance. The award highlights the bank’s workplace policies and practices aimed at creating a supportive environment for employees across different stages of their professional and personal lives.
The award was organised by the International Finance Corporation and the Pakistan Business Council as part of an initiative recognising organisations that have adopted progressive approaches to diversity and inclusion. Faysal Bank was recognised for its continued efforts to strengthen workplace practices that support employees while promoting a culture where people can develop professionally alongside their personal responsibilities.
The recognition was presented by Senator Sherry Rehman. The Family-Friendly Workplace award reflects Faysal Bank’s focus on creating an environment where employees feel supported and valued. The bank said its approach places employee well-being at the centre of its workplace culture while also promoting equity and opportunities for its workforce.
Yousaf Hussain, President and Chief Executive Officer of Faysal Bank Limited, said the bank considers care one of its core Islamic values and believes that organisational growth begins with a workplace where employees feel valued, supported and empowered. He said the recognition reflects the bank’s efforts to provide an environment where employees can progress professionally while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
Hussain also highlighted Faysal Bank’s commitment to strengthening people-focused practices and maintaining an inclusive workplace. The bank aims to provide opportunities for all colleagues to contribute, develop and succeed, including women and persons with disabilities. The recognition therefore also reflects the bank’s wider approach to workplace inclusion and employee experience. Faysal Bank said its employees remain central to its growth and continued development. The bank is working to further strengthen its workplace culture in line with its organisational values while supporting the overall well-being and development of its workforce. Through these efforts, Faysal Bank is also contributing to broader standards for diversity, inclusion and employee experience within Pakistan’s financial services sector.
