Together with the The Swedish Chamber of Commerce India we are proud to offer international training programs on gensitivity (gender sensitivity). For the past three years more than 125 leaders from 34 Swedish companies and 11 countries in the APAC region have participated in this training. Our aim is to reach beyond organisational, national, and generational borders to eventually mushroom into a movement across both Swedish and other corporate globally.

Those who participate have been challenged to create gensitive environments in their workplaces. They have been exposed to the consequences of prevailing world views and systemic evils. They have studied global trends in family and workplace dynamics. They have been invited to examine their cultural gender assumptions and presumptions; to deconstruct, unlearn, old paradigms, thereby to reconstruct new healthier paradigms.



The International Task Force brings leaders together from Swedish companies from a region. We are currently welcoming nominations from the Asia Pacific & Oceania. The programme is conducted fully online and moderated skilfully by a senior trainer and gender expert.

BENEFIT FOR COMPANY

Gender-sensitivity has proved to lead to stable company environments, more contented employees with fewer dropouts. It encourages a liberating, empowering and supportive environment which with its diversities of views and thoughts leads in turn to greater creativity and innovation. Diversity has also proved responsible for higher productivity.

TESTIMONIALS 

"Thought provoking program, which made me introspect, and come to the awareness that so much more needs to be done for inclusiveness. This session goes farther than other similar discussions and makes us delve into our own approach."​

Chandan Singh, Country Managing Director Hitachi Energy Vietnam.

--------------------------------

"… my participation in the International Task Force on Gender Sensitisation has been both professionally and personally transformational.  The course content works through issues in a conceptual and profound way, allowing me to understand the systems and behaviours that affect all parts of human society.

In each session, I learn new concepts and have the opportunity to reflect on my own experiences and leadership practices, as well as to learn from those of other senior leaders. My participation in the International Task force inspires me to work harder to contribute to greater equality and justice, both within my workplace and within society at large." 

Nadia Lilith, Executive Vice President, Head of Business Support Asia, Saab Singapore Pvt Ltd.
