Running from 10am to 3pm, the workshop brings together members, students, working professionals, and participants from various organisations for a full day of discussions focused on financial literacy, responsible borrowing, savings culture, digital financial services, and future financial planning.
NCSL recently engaged with the SMEC PNG team through a financial wellness session focused on building a stronger savings culture and empowering staff to better plan for their financial future.
From the session, staff members registered membership and shared positive feedback.
“The session was very well received, and the feedback from staff has been extremely positive. I am encouraged by the level of engagement and look forward to seeing more staff join NCSL in the near future.”
“We truly appreciate the time, effort, and valuable insights shared by NCSL. We also look forward to continuing this strong partnership as part of our ongoing savings culture initiative, particularly in supporting staff to plan and prepare for their short- to medium-term financial needs,” stated Mr Andrew Topo, Manager, People and Culture, Pacific – SMEC PNG.
As a member-owned savings and loan society, NCSL remains committed to supporting its members and partner organisations or employers through financial education, accessible savings and loan products, and ongoing engagement initiatives.
