Gi Group Holding’s Post

It should be a "no-brainer", it should be the most natural thing in the world. We should all be exactly, who we wanna be, love who we want to love, and treat each other with respect and dignity - regardless of our individual differences. We are not quite there yet - unfortunately. There are still "dark spots" on the map, when it comes to diversity and equality. Celebrating Pride is important. Not as "the annual support of diversity". It is important because the best way to push back darkness is with light, laughter, and positivity. All the things that Pride brings. Happy Copenhagen Pride 💙 💚 💛 💜 🧡 #apmollerholding #diversity #copenhagenpride #nyttigvirksomhed

According to the International Maritime Organization (IMO), in 2023, women accounted for only 29% of the overall workforce in the maritime industry and 20% of the workforce of national maritime authorities in the Member States. Diverse teams are more likely to develop comprehensive and innovative solutions in sectors like the maritime, which face complex sustainability challenges such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, protecting marine ecosystems, and ensuring social responsibility. ‘𝘉𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘷𝘶𝘭𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺.

Women face various barriers in the maritime industry, including gender bias, lack of mentorship opportunities, and work-life balance challenges. At #PortXchange, we are committed to addressing these barriers to enable more women to enter the field and contribute to sustainability efforts by fostering an environment that values vulnerability, builds safe cultures, and upholds a high level of responsibility and commitment. This year, on International Women’s Day, we are taking a stand with United Nations and proudly joining their #InvestInWomen campaign. Help us break down barriers for women in the #maritime sector. Explore career opportunities with us at PortXchange and inspire others to join the movement towards greater #diversity and inclusion. Happy International Women's Day!

The maxim “women hold up half the sky” encapsulates the essence of diversity’s pivotal role in fostering innovation and driving success. While companies may boast diverse workforces, it is the strategic harnessing of this diversity and the bold move to remove barriers that distinguish between industry leaders and stragglers. - An excerpt of a piece written by Raj Kumar Paramanathan, a steering committee member of the 30% Club Malaysia.

How do we #empower #womenintourism? We #cocreate and #collaborate on various initiatives. In this article, I am honoured to share thoughts on the challenges #womenintourism experiences in the workplace, with Nasreen Tisaker, who graduated from #Unisa with a MCOm in Tourism Management.

🌍✨ Celebrating the Power of Women in Sustainable Tourism! ✨🌟 Today is International Women's Day and the United Nations official theme is  "Invest in Women". Today, we are not only celebrating the women at Sustainable Tourism Consultants, we are also celebrating the inclusive and empowering environment we have built together. Meet Caragh Curran MBA, CEO and Founder of Sustainable Tourism Consultants - a female-led and woman owned organization. Throughout her career, Caragh has successfully overcome a number of challenges, from raising finance as a female founder to breaking barriers in the boardroom. She has worked globally for a number of different public and private sector entities driving change and her path into this executive role began over 30 years ago. During this time she has witnessed a lot of change in work culture, which has influenced the type of company culture she wanted to nurture at Sustainable Tourism Consultants. "At STC, we strive to create a workplace that is inclusive and promotes diversity. We believe that diversity drives innovation, creativity and success. Our approach to investing in our teams is anchored around five key pillars - training and development, leadership, mentoring, well-being and technology. As leaders, it is vital that we cultivate environments, where every individual feels valued, respected and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives. Empowering women empowers us all. It's vital that we all work together to address bias, dismantle barriers, challenge outdated norms, and create an inclusive environment where every voice is heard, and every individual is valued. Not just today, but everyday". Let's celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of women around the world on International Women's Day. Together, we can create a more inclusive and equal future for everyone. #womenleadership #leanin #womenempoweringwomen #embraceequality #genderequality #femaleempowerment #resilience #embraceequality #glassceiling #inspireinclusion #CEO #leadershipinsights #iwd2024 #internationalwomensday #investinwomen #sustainabletourism #leadersinspiringchange #sustainabletravel #sustainabletourismconsultants

Looking back: The maritime industry has traditionally been male dominated! STOP looking back 👀 🔙 Today there are challenges related to the working environment, attitudes, harassment, adaptation of equipment, the practical design of the workplace, working conditions and terms of employment may represent obstacles to female participation in the industry. Some of these challenges are perceived as being more significant at sea than in onshore part of the maritime sector ‼ 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 🔵 𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲❗ ❓ The words diversity, equality and inclusion is written and talked about all over the place! In Norway several companies have signed the #40by30 pledge which WISTA Norway launched March 8th in 2022. The companies have committed to create specific goals to increase diversity and to strive towards 40% women in leading positions by 2023. In two months time two years have passed and I would love to know what some of these companies have done. You can rely on the company you are working for or you can take charge yourself. What have you done in these two years as an individual for your own career? The present is the only thing we are certain of, however you can influence and shape the future according to what you want, if you take charge. Focus on what you want, focus on growth and set clear and realistic goals. Break them smaller and establish manageable steps and make sure to celebrate your success along the way. Establish leadership values to support your strategy and making decisions. Remember to be open to new experiences and opportunities as they may lead you to a better place. Always stay focused and if you practice gratitude it may help you to influence and be even more optimistic about the future. If you want to embrace the future with confidence and enthusiasm take charge and let me know if you want some support with that. 1️⃣ Reflect 2️⃣ Reset 3️⃣ Create #sustainableleadership #growingtogether #bettertogether #coaching #sparringpartner #shipping #maritimeindustry 📷 Lumiere Studio
