Kina Bank proudly celebrated the invaluable contributions of its female staff to the organization's growth and success, commemorating the International Women’s Day on Saturday 8th March 2025. The Kina Bank Management from all levels of leadership take immense pride in the empowerment of gender diversity in the workforce such as the technology field that has been male dominant. Kina Bank CEO and Managing Director, Ivan Vidovich, acknowledged the significant contributions of the women who comprise 54% of the workforce. He emphasized the ongoing efforts to improve policies, benefits, and support services to promote equity and diversity, creating an environment where all employees can thrive and contribute to the bank's success and inclusive culture. “We also recognize the dual responsibilities many of our women carry, balancing their professional roles with the demands of home life and the unique challenges these expectations bring. There is still work to be done, and Kina Bank remains deeply committed to listening, addressing these challenges, and continuously improving our workplace. Together, we aim to make a meaningful difference not only within our organization but also in the communities we serve,” he added. Kina Bank is dedicated to gender equality and youth empowerment by fostering women’s leadership through mentorship, training, and pay equity initiatives. The bank promotes work-life balance with flexible policies and parental leave while creating an inclusive culture where all employees feel valued. Additionally, Kina supports young girls and students in financial literacy by sponsoring "RISE," a program focused on personal growth, education, and career opportunities. Acting General Manager Branch Distribution, Hitolo Shonty Morea, highlighted Kina Bank’s commitment to women in leadership, noting that over 80% of branch and assistant branch managers are women, a testament to the bank’s dedication to empowering female employees.
