12 colleagues from across HSBC's Channel Island and Isle of Man offices are taking part in a new female leadership programme, aiming to 'nurture a workplace environment that champions gender equity'.
Called 'HSBC Rise" it includes a number of workshops and coaching sessions aimed at developing female talent and helping them navigate their careers.
Elvina Aghajanyan, Head of Human Resources said it's a very important topic.
"Studies have found that significant numbers of women left the global workforce as a result of the pandemic, some permanently and we are not immune to that as a sector or as an organisation. The challenge of nurturing a truly diverse workforce, though goes much deeper than the pandemic, which is why we are committed as an employer to creating a safe environment that embraces true gender equity and where everyone can thrive."
Cameron Senior, Interim Head of Wealth and Personal Banking at HSBC Channel Islands and Isle of Man said it is an investment in the firm's future.
"HSBC Rise is a development programme that invests in and builds a talent pipeline of future female talent across our business, which importantly forms part of our overall People Strategy aimed at delivering and building a genuine culture across the business that values equity, diversity and inclusion."
