CBI members HSBC and Deloitte along with Walmart have joined forces to launch the Network of Executive Women Cross-Organisation Mentorship Program ("NEW") which aims to promote gender diversity in the local marketplace through providing support towards the development and advancement of future women leaders within the Southern China business community.
Over 100 participants including mentors and mentees are expected to benefit from this program which is being piloted in 2017, and aims to increase gender diversity at leadership levels, enhance visibility of women leaders and provide personalised guidance to high-potential female talent as they realise their personal and career development goals.
The organisations hope that the program will provide a forum for like-minded participants to develop a trusted network, enabling mentees to learn from established role models whilst providing an opportunity for mentors to flex their leadership skills and leverage lessons learned throughout their careers, in an effort to elevate the status women in the workplace through a synergistic approach.
