DNV mentors women

DNV has launched its forth annual management development programme tailormade for women. Women currently make up 17% of the company’s managers, and the programme’s goal is to increase this share considerably. DNV wants to have diversity among its employees and managers as regards age, nationality and gender. The company makes active use of various measures, such as mentor programmes, to increase the diversity of its managers. One area with improvement potential is the number of women in managerial positions. In order to increase the number of women in managerial positions, DNV has developed its own mentor programme for women. The objective is to increase the number of female managers by motivating women to be, and developing them as, managers, as well as to contribute to network building. The mentor programme has not least focused on increasing the awareness of the female-manager potential in the company among DNV mentors and other top management. Twelve women from DNV’s European offices are taking part in this year’s programme. Each of the women has been assigned a mentor who has a top management position in DNV. Seven of this year’s participants come from European countries apart from Norway. The participants have been handpicked and nominated by their managers, based on a number of criteria; among other things, the candidate must have demonstrated clear management potential and have experience from managerial positions in the organisation.
