DIMO TAKES A STEP FORWARD IN GENDER DIVERSITY
Diesel & Motor Engineering PLC (DIMO) took a step forward in enhancing gender diversity within the organization by launching the DIMO Women’s Network; a collaborative Employee Resource Group for female employees of the organisation. The network was launched recently under the patronage of Ranjith Pandithage Chairman & Managing Director – DIMO.
The DIMO Women’s Network is an extension of DIMO’S commitment to increase gender diversity. The primary objective of the network will be to provide mentorship and professional guidance for female employees to achieve their career aspirations. In addition, the network will focus on providing assistance to handle workplace issues such as harassment or discrimination and collaborate on resolving business issues with gender smart solutions.
At the launch of the event, Dilrukshi Kurukulasuriya Chief Human Resource Officer - DIMO mentioned that, “Being in industries that are traditionally male dominated DIMO’S male to female ratio has always been in the range of 9% -10%. However, we realise that our customer base includes a cross section of Sri Lankan society and there is a large female talent pool in the market that we have not tapped in to yet.
