Today we are celebrating #InternationalWomensDay at VARO Energy, and this year it is all about Inspiring Inclusion. We are determined to build a more inclusive workplace, facilitate women’s professional development and inspire the next generation of women leaders – at VARO and beyond. And there is no one better to explore these important themes than our Human Resources Director, Irene Franck. Irene tells us how she overcame bias to get to where she is today, and offers words of advice for aspiring young women looking to make their mark. This year, we continue our efforts, with 22% Female Senior Managers (+6% vs. 2022) and the launch of our first VARO Women’s Network. This network is a platform for exchange, mutual support and development, facilitating women’s professional development in alignment with our 2030 diversity goals. There is still much to be done, but we are up for the task! #IWD2024 #GenderEquality #Empowerment

The central theme for International Women's Day 2024 revolves around #InspireInclusion. Genuine inclusion of women means to openly embrace their diversity of race, age, ability, faith, body image, and how they identify. It's imperative that women are integrated into all spheres of endeavor worldwide. One of the key pillars of Inspire Inclusion is the advocacy for diversity in leadership and decision-making roles. Women, especially those belonging to underrepresented groups, continue to face barriers when attaining leadership positions. At NEFIN, we are committed to providing equal opportunities for our female workforce. We aim to support them in overcoming barriers and realizing their full potential through mentorship programs and educational workshops. Furthermore, we prioritize their holistic well-being by providing wellness workshops, outdoor activities, and sports engagements. Collectively, let's forge a more inclusive world for women where they are empowered, valued, and included. #NEFIN #InspireInclusion #IWD2024 #empowering #womenleadership #sustainability #ESG

#Inspireinclusion is not a one-day event! Each year, there are effectively two different themes: one proposed as a campaign theme by the IWD website, which this year is #InspireInclusion, and the UN's official, which this year is "Invest in women: Accelerate progress". Women’s inclusion is a continuous journey demanding dedication and collective effort. Together, let's cultivate a world where every woman feels respected, embraced, and empowered. This International Women's Day, let's ignite change and #InspireInclusion by amplifying women's voices, fostering mentorship programs, and championing diversity in leadership roles." #womeninbusiness #womenempowerment #womenempoweringwomen #inclusione #internationalwomensday2024

🌟 Empowering Women in Business: The Strength of Solidarity 🌟 As the role of women in the business world continues to expand, challenges still remain. But as a proud advocate for women in business, I want to highlight the incredible power of solidarity among women professionals. Supporting each other is not just about offering words of encouragement; it's about creating networks that foster real growth and opportunity. When we stick together, we can amplify each other's voices, share opportunities, offer mentorship, and learn from diverse perspectives. Embracing this diversity can lead to more innovative solutions and a more inclusive business environment. Let’s continue to build a culture where women support women, not just in words, but through actionable, impactful solidarity. Together, we can overcome barriers and climb new heights. Here’s to strong women: may we know them, may we be them, may we raise them, and most importantly, may we support them. #WomenInBusiness #Empowerment #Solidarity #Leadership

✴ Breaking barriers in male-dominated environments, women supporting women is a powerful force for change. By forming alliances, offering mentorship, and advocating for one another, women create a robust support system that fosters resilience and confidence. 👉 This solidarity challenges existing biases and promotes a culture of inclusion and equality. Women supporting women not only opens doors for individual growth and advancement but also transforms workplace dynamics, paving the way for future generations to thrive in diverse and equitable professional landscapes. #breakingbarriers #professionalwomen #tech #mentoring #leadership #coaching

This is the first company I've worked for that's put its money where its mouth is and actually tried to bolster inclusion from the position of leader vs follower. Its not just about having better hiring practices, its also about creating an industry wide ecosystem where inclusion is a baked in practice. If this is at all interesting, give the EMPOWER conference a check out, below. Or DM me and we can probably figure out a way to get you in ;)

Women leadership brings diversity of thought, empathy, and resilience to the forefront. It's about fostering inclusivity, breaking stereotypes, and empowering individuals to reach their full potential, regardless of gender. Recognizing and promoting women's leadership is crucial for building stronger, more innovative communities and organizations.
