This resonates with AIA’s overall purpose of helping people live healthier, longer, better lives be it with our customers, employees or the communities in which we serve. Based on the feedback we get from our millennials, they require us to engage with them in a different manner when compared to people in my generation. This award clearly demonstrates that our approach is working and the young, dynamic millennials who work for AIA Sri Lanka thrive here.”
