On April 29th, ExxonMobil and FedEx co-hosted a webinar on Coaching, Mentoring, and Sponsorship. More than 120 people from WEC member companies and the larger DEI community attended this webinar. This event showcased the value of coaching, mentoring, sponsorship for women in the workplace and the best practices to implement these programs.
4月29日，女性赋权委员会（WEC）的会员公司，埃克森美孚和联邦快递成功联合主办了“教练，导师，伯乐”线上论坛。 超过120位与会人员共同探讨了“教练，导师，伯乐“项目对个人和公司的裨益，并且分享了如何在公司内实践此类项目的成功经验。
Rella Huang, China LNG Marketing Manager at ExxonMobil, kicked off the webinar with a warm welcome and a survey on the perception of values in Coaching, Mentoring, and Sponsorship. It turned out that one in four participants did not know about Coaching, Mentor, and Sponsorship, and nearly half of the participants only had a vague idea of the value in these programs.
会议由黄佩燕（埃克森美孚中国液化天然气市场部经理）主持。通过互动在线调查，与会人员首先分享了他们对于“教练，导师，伯乐”的初步认识。近四分之一的观众并不了解这些概念，还有近一半的观众虽然听说过这几个角色，但并不很清楚他们如何为职业成长提供支持。
Tze San Koh, President of Gas China Marketing at ExxonMobil, continued with diversity and inclusivity statistics in China and ExxonMobil. She unpacked the need for Coaching, Mentoring, and Sponsorship programs for companies and the employees respectively. She also shared that in ExxonMobil China, women accounts for 25% in the higher executives, and 50% in workforce, higher than the global level. Moreover, there are more women engineers with graduate degrees in ExxonMobil China. Still, while ExxonMobil is taking substantial strides to obtain gender equity, the larger business community needs to recognize the gender gap in leadership.
在此基础上，辜子珊（埃克森美孚中国天然气市场营销总裁）分享了她对于为什么需要教练，导师和伯乐，以及每个角色如何帮助个人以及公司的看法。她还展示了埃克森美孚的女性平等数据。埃克森美孚中国员工约50%是女性，约25%高管是女性，高于全球水平。而且中国的女性研究生工程师比例也高于全球。同时她指出，虽然埃克森美孚已经在性别平等上做出巨大努力，但包括埃克森美孚在内的大型企业需要认识到领导层性别差距的存在。
To expand on the actual meaning of Coaching, Mentoring, and Sponsorship, Poh-Yian Koh, VP of China Operations at FedEx Express, defined each term and elaborated on how each program can help women success at workplace. During her thirty years with FedEx, she benefited from coaches, mentors, and sponsorships with diversified background. And she encouraged women proactively find their mentors and sponsorships to achieve great success.
许宝燕（联邦快递中国区操作副总裁）进一步分享了她在联邦快递的三十年职业生涯中如何受益于教练、导师和伯乐的多元化指导。她向与会人员详细阐释了教练、导师和伯乐的概念，实践以及如何作用于短期、中长期和长期关系，并展示了业绩卓著的高管如何通过教练取得成功。
At FedEx, Marco Lee, VP of Sales China at FedEx Express, and Chrisitie Chen, Managing Director, Human Resources, China Region of FedEx Express, shared more about how FedEx tapped the resources of Coaching and Mentoring program to promote DEI practice. To promote gender equality and women career development at FedEx, the also launched Linc-UP and Ramp-UP mentoring program, enlisted over 60 senior leaderships and paired 168 mentors with mentees across Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa (AMEA) regions.
来自联邦快递的李伟樑（中国区销售副总裁）陈颖（中国区人力资源部董事总经理），分别分享了导师和教练项目在联邦快递的实践技巧和受益。联邦快递秉持多元化，公平和包容文化，为员工提供了外部高管教练，联邦快递教练学院以及联邦快递导师项目（Linc-UP和Ramp-UP项目），在亚太、中东和非洲地区，已有超过60名高级管理层担任Linc-UP导师，并且招募了168组一对一的导师与学员参与学习。
At ExxonMobil, Stella Hu, Chairman of ExxonMobil Chemical Services, introduced more about the difference between men and women in soliciting support from leadership. She shared, in her 15 years’ service at ExxonMobil, how she leveraged sponsorship within ExxonMobil to traverse the organization and prepare for roles central to the business. Quoting An Essay on Horse by Han Yu, Wenqing Sun, Asia Pacific Research and Operation Manager at ExxonMobil, also shared his take on the impact of sponsorship, and how women can better use of it.
埃克森美孚的胡华玲（北亚区聚乙烯销售总监）和孙文青（亚太区技术运营总监）向大家分享了他们对于伯乐项目的实践技巧。胡华玲分享了自己在埃克森美孚的伯乐经历，强调了女性与高层领导的互动比男性少，更需要伯乐改变职业发展的道路。孙文青则借用了唐代文学家韩愈的“千里马常有，而伯乐不常有”来强调公司鼓励伯乐知人善用，发展员工，同时也发展更多伯乐交替助力。
