STANDARD Chartered Bank (SCB) organised a ‘Bring Your Kid to Work’ day recently, to encourage parents to bring their children to the office to learn about how a bank operates and what their parents do at work.
Some 17 children, aged between two to seven years, took part in the voluntary programme and gathered at the bank’s headquarters in Bandar Seri Begawan, said a press release.
Laila Li Abdullah, Head of Human Resources at Standard Chartered Bank Brunei, said, “At Standard Chartered Bank, we fully encourage any voluntary work that is educational, and promotes a healthy work-life balance.
“What better way for children to learn more about a bank, than to experience an afternoon ‘working’ in a bank with their parents?”
The purpose of the event was to expose the children to a positive work environment and for them to begin to develop skills that could last a lifetime.
Parents, volunteers and children spent the afternoon together at Standard Chartered Bank’s main office.
The children were taken on a tour around the main office, then treated to goody bags and some fun activities, such as colouring, financial word search and other games, to share the exciting work happening at the bank and to spark interest in the children.
The programme was run by staff volunteers.
