Global women's network launched

The Women's Network was launched through a series of three international telephone conferences on Wednesday. It draws together the legacy Thomson Financial CHIC group and various Reuters women's groups.

“The vision of the network is to develop the talents and champion the contributions of female employees, thus promoting women as equal partners in the success, achievement and profitability of Thomson Reuters,” said Julia Fuller, corporate responsibility manager, who leads the group.

The network operates via global and regional operating committees with local level networks. The UKI network draws women from 20+ locations across England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Events, held in person and by teleconference, address themes such as self branding, career development, mentoring and networking. The global group also operates a number of sub-committees including community engagement, mentoring, events management and marketing.

The next event is on 2 October at Canary Wharf, London. ■
