WIN in the workplace
Celebrating International Women's Day
This year, ASM marked International Women's Day with a series of Women’s Initiative Network (WIN) events taking place across several of our locations. WIN is ASM’s employee resource group designed to bring women and their allies together from across the organization, with educational and networking events take place across the year. WIN provides a chance for women at ASM to build their professional and personal networks, support, share and learn from each other’s experiences.
WIN in the US, achieving balance
On March 2, The US WIN chapter held its first event of 2023. More than 70 women from across the US gathered in person and virtually for a discussion led by a special guest speaker, followed by a lunch networking session at the Phoenix office. The guest speaker was Sally Morton, Executive Vice President & Professor of Knowledge Enterprise at Arizona State University and Professor at the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences. During her remarks, Sally shared her experiences building her life and career. She shared insights on how she achieves work-life balance, manages to be both likable and assertive at work, empowers her team and female colleagues, and much more.
WIN in Korea, learning from each other
On March 7th, WIN Korea hosted a lecture featuring speaker Yun Yeo-soon, one of the first female executives at LG Group. Yun shared valuable advice on navigating the workplace as a woman with grace and success. And over in Singapore, our colleagues kicked off their first WIN event of 2023 just two days later. The event included a financial planning workshop for working women led by Karen Lai, our Director of Business Control, addressing an essential issue identified by our WIN members. The workshop enhanced financial literacy and planning skills, providing confidence to manage personal finances and embark on a journey towards long-term wealth, covering budgeting, investing, and retirement planning with practical tips and tools. The event was a great success, highlighting the importance of empowering women in the workplace with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive.
