Sharing sentiments on gender equality, Applelynn Teo, AVP, Gallery Design & Production commented: “Gender equality to me is putting all these judgments aside and being objective. What are we going to do today as a team and everyone is equal…” Similarly, Savittree Meesuksree, Training Manager, Banyan Tree Spa Academy shared: “…believe in yourself that you can do and nothing is impossible”.
Championed by co-founder and women’s rights advocate Claire Chiang, the global Singaporean hospitality group has long been a supporter of women’s empowerment as demonstrated by the programmes organised for its female employees. One such programme is the well-known Banyan Tree Spa Academy Phuket founded in 2001 with the mission of providing career options and opportunities for women.
Banyan Tree also provides an excellent work environment for women in terms of empowerment, benefits, career development, et al. as evidenced by its consistently high ratings in biannual Associate Satisfaction Surveys, by its female associates.
