Dell Technologies MentorConnect Launch 2019

Dell Technologies MentorConnect Launch 2019

Dell Technologies has launched MentorConnect on the July 25 2019. MentorConnect is a unique cross-company mentorship programme that promotes diverse leadership development across a select network of Malaysian organisations committed to diversity and inclusion at the Cyberjaya campus. The launch follows the success of the inaugural MentorConnect kickoff at Dell Technologies’ Penang campus in 2017.

Dell Technologies Mentor Connect with Deputy Minister of Women, Family and Community Development, YB Hannah Yeoh

Present at the event to officiate the launch, Deputy Minister of Women, Family and Community Development, YB Hannah Yeoh, urged Malaysian employers to follow suit in embracing diversity in the workplace. “I commend Dell Technologies and its partners for launching the MentorConnect programme – this inter-company collaboration will help those participating to think out of the box, get new ideas and be inspired by how others are doing things. Furthermore, I encourage the private sector and companies like Dell Technologies to explore ideas beyond the professional and personal development of the workforce, and consider the idea of a family-focused workplace. Initiatives such as setting up a childcare centre in the workplace creates an enabling environment – both for mothers and fathers – for employees to thrive in the workplace. Childcare centres in the workplace not only retains women in the workforce but also assures the parents that their children are in a safe place.”

The MentorConnect programme is the brainchild of Dell Technologies Malaysia’s Women in Action Employee Resource Group (ERG) – a strong community with chapters around the world and a mix of female and male members. The Women in Action ERG aims to position Dell Technologies as an employer of choice for all by creating a supportive and inclusive environment, enabling women to achieve their goals at each point in their journey.

What began three years ago as a local initiative by Dell Technologies’ Penang chapter has now grown to include the Cyberjaya campus. ExxonMobil Business Support Centre Malaysia Sdn Bhd, PETRONAS and AIG have joined Dell Technologies and seven other organisations includes Motorola Solutions, IHS Markit, Keysight Technologies, National Instruments, UST-Global, Mattel and Boston Scientific in the MentorConnect programme, making it eleven organisations in total.

Pang Yee Beng, senior vice president, South Asia, and Managing Director with Deputy Minister of Women, Family and Community Development, YB Hannah Yeoh

“At Dell Technologies, we take a business-driven approach to diversity and inclusion. D&I is not a nice-to-have, but a business imperative. As leaders, it’s our responsibility to be active in building a diverse workplace, encourage innovation and provide the resources that can make that a reality,” said Pang Yee Beng, senior vice president, South Asia, and managing director, Malaysia, Dell Technologies. “We’re focused on cultivating an inclusive workplace where all team members feel they can be their true selves. We are immensely proud that Malaysia leads the way in promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace with MentorConnect.”

With the expansion, MentorConnect now engages 17 mentors and has impacted over 220 mentees (both women and men), whom have been active participants in supporting diversity and inclusion in the workplace. All the mentors and mentees come from roles across their companies including: finance, sales, operations, engineering, marketing, supply chain, accounting, IT and legal. Some are new managers seeking insights from more experienced leaders while others are individual contributors looking to make that next step in their career.

Dorothy Shekhar, Senior Manager, Demand Acceleration, Global Business Services, Dell Technologies and Women in Action, Dell Technologies Cyberjaya site lead, added: “We’re excited that through MentorConnect, we can make an impact on the rest of the business community outside of Dell Technologies. Together, we’re building the foundation for the next generation of Malaysians to be diverse and progressive leaders.” 

"TalentCorp is proud to be part of the MentorConnect programme which aligns closely with TalentCorp's advocacy of Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) across Corporate Malaysia. We commend the commitment that Dell Technologies and the MentorConnect member companies have demonstrated in the recruitment and development of women. We are hopeful that many more companies will be inspired to embark on similar journey for employee empowerment," said TalentCorp's Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Puan Mahuran Saro Sariki.

Dell Technologies -Women Powering Business (Women’s Entrepreneurship)

Dell Technologies - Dell Women Entrepreneur Network Summit

Dell Women Entrepreneur Network

Today (16 July 2019) at the 10th annual Dell Women Entrepreneur Network Summit, Dell Technologies announced findings of the 2019 Women Entrepreneur Cities (WE Cities) Index, ranking 50 global cities on their ability to foster growth for women entrepreneurs. Building on annual research since 2010, Dell Technologies ranks cities based on the impact of local policies, programs and characteristics in addition to national laws and customs to help improve support for women entrepreneurs and the overall economy. 

"When we invest in women, we invest in the future; communities prosper, economies thrive and the next generation leads with purpose,” said Karen Quintos, EVP and chief customer officer at Dell Technologies. “By arming city leaders and policymakers with actionable, data-driven research on the landscape for women entrepreneurs, we can collectively accelerate the success of women-owned businesses by removing financial, cultural and political barriers."

Building on 10 years of research on women entrepreneurs, Dell Technologies partnered with IHS Markit to research and rank 50 cities on five important characteristics, including access to: Capital, Technology, Talent, Culture and Markets. These pillars were organised into two groups -operating environment and enabling environment. The overall rating is based on 71 indicators; 45 of which have a gender-based component. Individual indicators were weighted based on four criteria: relevance, quality of underlying data, uniqueness in the index and gender component.  

“The 2019 Dell WE Cities report is unique from other bodies of research in that it not only ranks 50 global cities on their ability to foster women entrepreneurs, it shows how the cities have improved from their 2017 benchmark,” said Karen Campbell, Consulting Associate Director, IHS Markit. “This year we can see some patterns emerging. Ranked cities have collectively made the most improvement in the Capital and Culture pillars, which shows the importance of measuring not just the operating environment but also enabling environment for women entrepreneurs. This data-driven approach shows where women entrepreneurs still face barriers in scaling their business.”

All 50 cities made progress since 2017, however some cities made bigger strides than others and the race to the top inevitably left some cities behind.

Dell Global Women Entrepreneurship Cities Ranking 2019

• Kuala Lumpur is ranked 44th overall on the Index, ahead of other major cities in the region which include Shanghai, Delhi and Jakarta. Despite being in the bottom 10 overall cities, Kuala Lumpur (the only Asia Pacific city) along with Nairobi are ranked in the top 10 cities for Market under the operating environment category.
• The San Francisco Bay Area out ranked New York for the No. 1 spot this year, largely in part because the Bay Area is one of the best places for women to gain access to capital. It also moved from 6th place to 2nd place in Culture, illustrating that the number of role models and public dialogue around eliminating the ‘bro culture’ is making an impact.

Top 5 Ranking based on area

• Out of a total of 100 possible points, the No. 1 ranked San Francisco Bay Area scored only 63.7. That’s evidence that there is still much work to do to level the field for women – and validates the need for this kind of research and outreach to policymakers to move the needle for female founders. 
• Lack of funding, high-cost of living, low representation of women in leadership roles, and the lack government led policies that support women entrepreneurs were among the barriers, globally. 
• Thirty out of 50 cities improved on more than half of their indicators, with Latin America and Europe seeing the highest percentage of their cities move up. 
• The most-improved cities represent nearly every region, which indicates how broad-based the improvements have been around the world.

Women on Corporate Boards Comparison 2017 with 2019

• Mexico City had the greatest improvement ranking No. 45 in 2017, moving up to No. 29 this year. In particular, the city increased women in education, at top business schools and in its legislature, and also increased corporate vendor procurement programs and access to capital for women entrepreneurs via crowdfunding campaigns. 

“When more women work, economies grow. Technology is helping to drive this progress as a gender-neutral enabler, and helps create a level playing field,” said Amit Midha, president of Asia Pacific & Japan, Global Digital Cities at Dell Technologies. “Whilst all cities in the Index have improved, the crucial factor is the consistency of this improvement across the different factors that impact women entrepreneurs’ success. The WE Cities Index helps Dell Technologies get closer to our customers and understand the landscape in each city so we are better able to help women entrepreneurs scale their businesses.”

Advocating for Women Entrepreneurs

The 2017 to 2019 WE Cities Index results highlight the successes and challenges that each city faces, and where cities can learn best practices from one another. These key learning, if supported by local governments, can add up to big changes for women-owned businesses, globally. 

Dell Global Women Entrepreneurship Cities Comparison : 2019 vs 2017

Based on the findings and comparison between the 2017-2019 indices, Dell Technologies has developed a set of WE Cities Policy Recommendations focused on three areas, including: 

• Access to and the development of financial and human capital. 
• Private and public sectors role in increasing access to local and global networks and markets.
• How government and business leaders can help women entrepreneurs thrive in the changing-face of technology.
