In a remarkable and pioneering step for Bangladesh’s public sector, the Public-Private Partnership Authority (PPPA), Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA), Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (BEZA), and Moheshkhali Integrated Development Authority (MIDA) all led by a single head, Mr. Ashik Chowdhury jointly observed World Mental Health Day in a subtle yet meaningful manner.
This thoughtful initiative stands out as a rare example of leadership that prioritises people above all. Mr. Chowdhury believes that a healthy and positive workplace environment is vital for meaningful performance, as employees spend the greater part of their day at work.
“No organisation can createlasting impact unless its people are mentally strong and motivated,” he remarked, underscoring his belief that employee well-being drives institutional success.
In a context where mental health often remains unaddressed in Bangladesh’s work culture, this gesture reflects a progressive mindset one that connects empathy with efficiency.
By initiating this observance across four major national institutions, Ashik Chowdhury has set a new benchmark for compassionate governance leading as a people-first Head of Organisation and inspiring others to recognise that sustainable impact begins with employee well-being.
