The Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre is at the forefront of employing and developing female staff. Currently, 52% of its Managers are women. In total, the Centre employs 145 women, of which 79 hold executive to senior managerial positions despite residing in a perceived male-dominated business events industry. Celebrating this fact and to mark the recent International Women’s Day, the Centre organized a series of focused activities for its female team members. These included a Work-Life Integration Talk by BFM Radio Host, Freda Liu and a Health Talk by Dr. Juliet Mathew from Hospis, Malaysia.
According to the Centre’s Director of Sales & Marketing, Angeline van den Broecke, Development of their team members has always been at the forefront of their professional education goals as they constantly strive to be an ‘Employer of Choice’. The activities were open to all team members and formed part of the Centre’s ongoing effort to create an environment which inspires team members to advance their personal and professional aspirations regardless of gender. Their corporate culture is inclusive and mindful of the need to encourage all team members to advance their career aspirations. This enables them to retain a high caliber of professional women who are involved and demonstrate mentorship and inspiration, for their younger team members.
