Today, we celebrate the 2nd anniversary of our Welink network in Asia Pacific. Board members from Dragages Hong Kong Limited Dragages Singapore Pte Ltd Bouygues-Thai Ltd. BYME Engineering (Hong Kong) Ltd. VSL International Ltd. Bouygues Construction Australia A W Edwards will host Humans Matter to explore "The Ability to Act." This important idea means taking initiative and working well with our surroundings and the people around us. Why is it important? Because when we are able to act, we are somehow superwomen. We: ·  Are better at taking initiative and sustain our efforts, even if we encounter obstacles · Have a stronger self-confidence, fueling our ability to take initiative and keep engaged, motivated · Better regulate our stress and emotions, as we understand ourselves and our triggers better · Are more creative, especially when facing complex situations · Build better relationships, as we are able to listen, understand and support other. Although there is no fundamental gender differences when it comes to being able act, we, women, may be confronted to social, historical or cultural obstacles that may indirectly limit our ability to act. For instance when it comes to social expectations, risk taking, job promotion … Developing the ability to act is crucial because it helps us face challenges, grab opportunities, and create meaningful change. This is why we chose this topic, with the WeLink board, to empower each and every one of you today with this super-skill.

Gallup has been studying employee engagement for the last 20 years and has found that "companies with engaged workforces have higher earnings per share (EPS), and they seem to have recovered from the 2008 recession at a faster rate." It also found that " businesses with a critical mass of engaged employees outperformed their competition." https://lnkd.in/d_dKs36f I had no idea about this connection when I first began looking for a job, but in most of my interviews I asked about employee resource groups. Little did I know that almost all companies have them, but the real questions are : 1. How active are they? 2. How much funding is allocated to them? At Federated Hermes Limited, it has been extremely special to be a member of the race and ethnicity employee network group. It has helped me build relationships beyond the EOS team and pushed me to think about how I can improve engagement and develop a sense of belonging within my team and organization. This year, as part of South Asian Heritage month, I moderated a panel on South Asian immigrant experiences. Thank you Sara, Mushtaq and Yasmin for bringing the panel to life by sharing your experiences! #EmployeeEngagement #SustainableFinance #ResponsibleInvesting #Sustainability #SustainableInvesting

This week I had the honor of leading a Kunik session with the wonderful employees of Walker & Dunlop that explored the incredible power and influence of the Latinx diaspora. The energy was electric and sparked a conversation that focused on ways employees could not only celebrate and support Latinx colleagues but also infuse an awareness and connect business opportunities to this powerful population in current and future projects. Here's what made it special: 1️⃣ Eye-Opening Stats: Hispanic homeownership hit 49.5% in 2023, with 9.5M+ Hispanic households owning homes! 🏠📊 2️⃣ Collaborative Innovation: Attendees dove into breakout rooms, sparking innovative and actionable ideas to support the Latinx community. 3️⃣ Community Impact: We discussed ways to create more access and equity for the Latinx population through Walker & Dunlop’s current and future projects. 4️⃣ Lasting Commitments: Employees pledged ongoing support via individual actions and collective initiatives facilitated through their amazing ERG, Unidos to ensure Latinx communities are celebrated and supported all year round! A huge shoutout to Kunik’s founder, Elizabeth (Liz) Gulliver, for her unwavering support during the call. It’s always inspiring to work with founders who are getting deep into the work with their clients and collaborators and Kunik is an organization that truly lives and embodies their mission! 🙌🏽 These moments of connection, learning, and commitment are the true engines of change. We're not just talking – we're doing! 💪🏽 How is your organization turning Latinx Heritage Month celebrations into year-round action?
