KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 27 (Bernama) -- Shell Malaysia Sdn Bhd intends to recruit graduate or experienced women as well as provide childcare support at its new office premises in KL Sentral as part of the future plans of the company.
Its chairman, Iain Lo, said the plans also included introduction of the "Women Talent Pipeline" as part of the Shell People Day's Agenda.
In a statement issued Friday, he noted that while women had made progress in proving the business case for gender diversity at the executive level and on boards across many industries, there was still plenty of work to do.
He had said this at a women's summit, themed "Be in the Know", hosted recently by Shell, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and Pfizer Inc at Wisma Shell, Cyberjaya, said the statement.
"As Malaysia enters the next phase of development, it is critical that corporations here create the right environment that drives leadership and innovation to remain competitive for the women.
"Our success has been firmly built on continual learning, helping our people reach their potential while instilling a mindset that seeks to innovate and challenge convention," he said.
Shell's participation in the forum, through the Shell Women Action Network (SWAN), is part of the company's continued commitment to women's leadership development in Malaysia.
