Taking the stage

Taking the stage

To support the D&I ambitions of SHV and to ensure our organisation is a place where women can flourish, we have introduced the “Taking the Stage” development programme, designed to give female colleagues guidance on becoming more effective leaders.

‘Taking the Stage’ provides a unique environment for women to not only learn, but also to connect and network with other women within the organisation.

In 2019, 16 female colleagues, coming from all Groups and with different nationalities, trained as facilitators and subsequently went on to deliver the programme to hundreds of women from SHV and its Groups. This is just the beginning, with the initiative set to expand during 2021 and beyond.
