Make role models visual and accessible

  • ABN Amro believes that, if a company wants to attract and retain female talent, it has to be clear that this organization is a good place for women to work. ABN has internal and external efforts to illustrate success stories and its support for women
  • Role models attend special women events, these events are e.g. breakfast and lunchtime sessions, hosted by a senior executive (male or female) and give participants the chance to discuss issues, meet senior role models and learn from their experience
