Communicate & Celebrate in Action
Accelerating action on International Women’s Day
International Women’s Day (IWD) is a landmark event at Nissan AMIEO in which we pay tribute to women’s achievements and reaffirm our efforts to create an empowered and equitable workforce across the region. To celebrate this day in FY2024, our local teams united across AMIEO to #AccelerateAction and champion gender equality. This year’s highlights included:
Speed mentoring with senior leaders
To support career growth and connection, we launched a speed mentoring event on International Women’s Day, pairing employees with senior leaders across two fast-paced events. Each mentee had five minutes to seek advice from a senior leader, gaining insights and building connections in a structured but dynamic format - before rotating to a different leader.
This approach delivered real impact, offering broad exposure to leadership expertise, encouraging confidence and communication skills, and opening up cross-functional networking opportunities. It also proved highly flexible, with the potential to scale across topics and teams in the future. With a 97% satisfaction rate, speed mentoring will be developed into a recurring regional series in FY2025.
