Hayleys Fentons among Lanka’s ‘Most Outstanding Mom-Inclusive Workplaces’

Hayleys Fentons has been recognised among Sri Lanka’s Most Outstanding Mom-Inclusive Workplaces at the Mom Leaders Conference 2026, organised by Parenthood Global, underscoring the company’s continued commitment to building an inclusive, people-centric workplace culture that supports working mothers to grow, lead and succeed.

The recognition reflects Hayleys Fentons’ ongoing efforts to foster a supportive and empowering work environment where employees are encouraged to balance professional aspirations with family responsibilities. It further strengthens the organisation’s positioning as an employer that places strong emphasis on inclusion, well-being and equal opportunity as core elements of its people strategy.

As organisations increasingly focus on redefining workplace inclusivity, support for working parents has become a key indicator of progressive employment practices. Within this context, Hayleys Fentons continues to strengthen a culture that enables employees to contribute meaningfully while being supported through different stages of their personal and professional journeys.

At the conference, 10 employees from Hayleys Fentons were also honoured as Mom Leaders in recognition of their leadership, dedication and contribution across the organisation. The recognised employees were Roshani Dharmaratne, Lalani Weerarachchi, Amangi Perera, Sankalpana Silva, Shakila Iroshani, Nirasha Sakunthala, Madushi Nisansala, Chesika Weerakoon, Ruby Fernando and Sulochana Edirisuriya.

Their recognition reflects the valuable contribution of women across Hayleys Fentons who continue to demonstrate resilience, leadership and commitment while balancing the demands of family life. It also reinforces the organisation’s belief that inclusive workplaces are built by recognising talent and contribution in all its forms.

Managing Director of Hayleys Fentons, Hasith Prematillake, said: “An inclusive workplace is not defined by policies alone, but by the everyday experiences of our people. At Hayleys Fentons, we are committed to creating an environment where working mothers are supported to grow, lead and succeed while managing their personal responsibilities with dignity and balance.”

“We believe that when our people are empowered in this way, they bring greater confidence, purpose and value to everything they do. This recognition as one of the Most Outstanding Mom-Inclusive Workplaces reflects the culture we continue to strengthen across our organisation.”
