Jakarta, 21 December 2023 - Faced with the pressing issue of women experiencing exclusivity in the workforce, Telin hosted a Kick-Off Launch event for its latest campaign, #TelinEmpowHer, on December 21, 2023. This initiative not only provides additional opportunities for women at Telin to express their emotions and creativity but also aligns with the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) pillar #TelinforCommunity, which Telin will prioritize in the coming years.
#TelinEmpowHer comprises two primary programs: Be Woman On Board (BWOB) and the #TelinEmpowHer Forum. BWOB, the upcoming event, will involve one day of Board of Directors (BoD) shadowing for four selected female Teliners. Additionally, the #TelinEmpowHer Forum serves as a platform designed to cultivate and enhance the capabilities of employees, with a particular focus on empowering women within PT Telkom Indonesia International.
The Kick-Off Launch commenced with words of encouragement from Telin's CEO, Budi Satria Dharma Purba. "While the number of male employees currently outnumbers female employees, I am committed to ensuring inclusivity at Telin and providing equal opportunities to both genders. This commitment is evident in the Sign Support initiative, where all staff members can express their support for women's inclusion, whether at the pinnacle of their profession or as leaders in their respective areas."
Female employees were also encouraged to showcase their creativity through the Bento Box competition, and the winner was announced during the event. Towards the end, female staff members who had registered participated in a cake-decorating contest, with the freedom to decorate creatively. Interestingly, the decorations predominantly conveyed messages of encouragement for fellow women, highlighting the success of the event on this day.
As the event concluded, the vibrant and supportive atmosphere reflected the success of #TelinEmpowHer in providing a platform for women to express themselves, exhibit their skills, and inspire each other on the journey toward gender equality within the company.
