Fred. Olsen Women’s Leadership Network<\/b><\/h2>\n

\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

<\/p>\n

On 8th November 2018 Fred. Olsen celebrated the first graduates from its new Women’s Leadership Network course at a graduation ceremony held at the Woburn Hotel, Woburn, Bedfordshire.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is the first time that Fred. Olsen has undertaken such leadership training, which was designed bespoke by StudyFlex, working closely with Susanna Frost, Human Resources Director of Fred. Olsen Ltd., who came up with the initial concept and vision for the Fred. Olsen Women\u2019s Leadership Network.<\/p>\n

Twelve female managers from across a range of Fred. Olsen companies in the UK \u2013 Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, Fred. Olsen Travel, Fred. Olsen Renewables, Natural Power and SeaRoc \u2013 were selected to take part in a six-day residential course, between August and November 2018, with the aim of learning and developing the skills necessary to become effective leaders and \u2018change managers\u2019 in their respective businesses and teams.<\/p>\n

The six-day course \u2013 held over three two-day modules in Woburn \u2013 was led by StudyFlex\u2019s Managing Director, Rachel Lambert CMgr FCMI, and focused on areas such as personal development, organisational culture, the role and qualities of leadership, effective teams, and managing and affecting change.<\/p>\n

As well as taking part in the pioneering course, many of the group are studying towards a Level 5 Award in Leadership and Management with the Chartered Management Institute, which has been fully-funded by Fred. Olsen and supported by StudyFlex.<\/p>\n

How did those involved feel about the outcomes of this programme?<\/h2>\n

Susanna Frost, Human Resources Director of Fred. Olsen Ltd., said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“This was our first leadership programme designed to enable women to build on their strengths and further develop their own leadership style. Creating a network such as this has been both rewarding and challenging and I feel immensely proud of our first group.\"<\/p>\n

The Fred. Olsen\u2019s Women\u2019s Leadership Network is supported at the highest level within Fred. Olsen. Nick Emery, Chief Executive Officer of Fred. Olsen Ltd., attended the final evening of the course and addressed the first-ever graduates, also presenting them with their course certificates.<\/p>\n

Nick Emery, Chief Executive Officer of Fred. Olsen Ltd., said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAt Fred. Olsen, we put our people at the heart of our business, and it is a very proud moment to be celebrating the achievements of such a talented and dedicated group of women from across our various companies.\u00a0We know that, in order to succeed in an ever-competitive marketplace, we need to have the best staff in our business, reflecting the full diversity of the global environments in which we operate. We will continue our investment in growing and developing our \u2018leaders of the future\u2019 at Fred. Olsen, so that they are equipped with the right skills and attributes to be able to take us forward and drive the necessary change across the business in the coming years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rachel Lambert, Managing Director of StudyFlex, said:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a privilege to be involved in the Women\u2019s Leadership Network at Fred. Olsen. To work with an organisation that puts people at the heart of their business is fantastic and I look forward to continuing this development further with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of the course feedback from the group included:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt gives you the tools to be able to reflect on your strengths and weaknesses in such a way as to constructively plan\/develop your career going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are with some fabulous like-minded individuals \u2013 keen to improve, learn more and share information.\u201d
\n\u201cIt gives you the opportunity to develop and reflect on your management skills in a safe and collaborative environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the success of its inaugural Women\u2019s Leadership Network course, Fred. Olsen is committed to running such training in the future to grow and inspire even more female leaders across the Fred. Olsen companies.<\/p>\n
