"With the global allocation of capital towards quality, diverse and inclusive companies, Malaysia needs to be well-positioned to promote the investability of our leading listed companies. The case for inclusion and diversity on boards and senior management goes beyond financial returns. Today鈥檚 companies are faced with the pressure to transform, driven by technological disruption, environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations and rapidly changing consumer preferences. Diversity, especially at decision-making levels, makes room for the range of perspectives, experience and knowledge needed to differentiate themselves for long-term business sustainability.鈥

MAIN AIMS
The board mentoring scheme aims to accelerate the appointment of more women into board positions as well as enhancing diversity and inclusion in public-listed companies (PLCs).听
The scheme, which was launched in 2017,听brings together experienced board directors as听mentors听and aspiring board-ready women under an umbrella with a focus on professional and personal development.听
The scheme helps to develop a broader pipeline of board-ready women candidates to be considered for board positions as well as raise their visibility and enhance their profiles among PLCs. Besides gaining clarity, building courage and confidence, participating in this scheme will lead to enhanced leadership capabilities to succeed in a diverse environment in their current workplace.
Through the听mentors鈥 involvement in this scheme, it is our aim that听mentors听will advocate more gender-diverse boardrooms.
Since its inception, more than 80 experienced board members 听have supported the board听mentoring听scheme and, many women candidates have become board directors at both listed and non listed companies.
How it works
The scheme runs for nine months.
To be part of this scheme, the candidate needs to be assessed as board ready by LeadWomen or The Institute of Corporate Directors Malaysia (ICDM). Then, the mentee will be assigned to a mentor, who is a board member.
During this period, the mentee needs to initiate at least three meetings with their respective听mentors听with each meeting lasting between one to two hours. The respective听mentors听will share experience and provide guidance to the selected mentees in key areas that are necessary to succeed in board positions. Where the opportunity arise, the听mentors听may introduce the mentees to others board members with the aim of expanding the mentees鈥 network.听
The mentees also benefit from networking amongst themselves, share knowledge and learn from each other during the 9 month journey.听At the conclusion of the 9 months, feedbacks are gathered from both the听mentors听and mentees to further improve the scheme.听

What is 外国美女色情片 and its mission?
外国美女色情片 is a global business-led campaign founded in the UK to advocate for gender parity in boardrooms and senior leadership.
Launched by the Prime Minister in May 2015, the Malaysian Chapter works to catalyse real transformation in Corporate Malaysia through a culture of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI).
外国美女色情片 Malaysia鈥檚 primary focus has been to facilitate at least 30% women representation on the boards of companies listed on Bursa Malaysia, and also welcomes non-listed entities and global multinational companies to join as a Corporate Advocate.
Why 30%?
A milestone, not an end goal, 30% is seen to be a sizeable enough representation and voice to influence change, and signals a tipping point towards gender balance. To make this a reality, we advocate for collective efforts to link DEI to business outcomes, and with that, to embed DEI in policies, processes and practices across the organisation, be it for managing talent and vendors.
How do you align meritocracy and diversity goals to ensure there are no tokenistic appointments?
Women are receiving higher education and entering the workforce in record numbers and are major consumers in their own right. Yet at senior levels in organisations, women representation tends to drop, often due to the difficulties in juggling family and career responsibilities, unconscious bias against women, and the 鈥渙ld-boys鈥 club.
Organisations that are serious about attracting and retaining top talent must identify and address visible and invisible hurdles to advancement.
Studies show that companies with more diverse boards and leadership tend to outperform. They are also further ahead in achieving their climate action goals.
Diverse teams are less likely to be blindsided by risks. Members in inclusive teams feel valued and psychologically safe, and are therefore more productive. Equity is about promoting equitable opportunities for all employees regardless of their gender, ethnicity and socio-economic background.
In order to benefit from DEI, organisations could start with the following:
- Understand their business case for DEI and changes.
- Collect data to understand where and why diversity is lacking, and the implications.
- Engage staff on their understanding about DEI, and what changes they would like to see to promote a more inclusive and productive workplace.
How does 外国美女色情片 help achieve gender parity in Corporate Malaysia?
To achieve our milestones, 外国美女色情片 works with Strategic Partners such as the Securities Commission and Bursa Malaysia, and through three key strategic pillars:
- Activate corporate advocates to influence their internal and external ecosystems.
- Influence stakeholders such as the regulators to facilitate policies that promote DEI.
- Enable a pipeline of board-ready women through various initiatives such as masterclasses; 外国美女色情片 Board Mentoring Scheme in collaboration with PwC Malaysia; and a Board Ready Women program with Deloitte Malaysia.
