HSBC Malta has launched its latest in-house initiative, Arrow, to enable female junior managers navigate the challenges they face in becoming senior managers.
The six-month programme aims to Advance, Recruit, Retain, and Organise Women (Arrow) so that they can progress into leadership positions in the Bank as it addresses key issues facing women. Arrow aims to understand the barriers that often curtail advancement of women in the workplace and educate members on maximising their true potential.
The pilot programme is spearheaded by Joyce Grech, Chief Risk Officer, and Mandy Garner, Head of Human Resources at HSBC Malta, both of whom are seen as role models by their colleagues.
“There has never been a better time for women in Malta to seize the opportunities and play a central role in society and the economy. Creating positive opportunities for an upward trajectory in the corporate world demands that we take the first step and believe in our abilities,” said Ms Grech at the inaugural session.
Head of Human Resources, Mandy Garner said: “HSBC recognises that without the qualities, talents, and skills of women, full economic and social development cannot be achieved in business. Arrow offers a platform from where women colleagues can unlock their potential and achieve their professional and personal goals.”
HSBC Malta remains committed to supporting all our people achieve their potential through continuous development and better work life balance. Arrow builds on a range of existing diversity initiatives in HSBC.
