E-Channelling for over 1,000 People's Bank employees When e-Channelling launched its most recent partnership, all employees of the People's Bank head office received instant access to over 500 specialist doctors in four premier hospitals in the country. Channelling over 500 top order specialist doctors, instantly making their schedules available, bringing the appointment desk and payment counters of Nawaloka, Durdans, Asiri and Oasis hospitals to the fingertips of over 1,000 employees of the People's Bank head office through their staff welfare department is a phenomenal task. But when e-Channelling's capacity to merge state-of-the-art technology, with the willingness and foresight of one of Sri Lanka's largest banking networks, is put into action, the net result is an extremely people-friendly and greatly needed service. An immeasurable amount of work hours, expense and frustration associated with employees often having to take short leave and half-days off to get to a hospital and stand in long queues to make a channel appointment with a doctor is being completely saved by this progressive technological innovation. With all this, the end result has been that now any employee at People's Bank head office can get a doctor's channelling appointment from their staff welfare department within minutes. People's Bank plans to take this innovation to their other 300 branches as well with the intention of not only serving their employees but the general public as well. E-Channelling Ltd., is Sri Lanka's first true eCommerce company, and is the only technology company listed in the Colombo Stock Exchange. The main shareholders of the company are Millennium Information Technologies, Ayojana Fund, DFCC Bank and Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation. |
