The Shine Awards are:
- Professional: because retaining women and enabling them to progress to senior management is a very important part of the solution to ensuring the industry has the personnel and skills it needs in years to come.
- Inclusive: because we recognise that men have a significant role to play in nurturing female talent.
- Inspiring: because we want women and men to come away reinvigorated for the challenge of finding new ways to retain and promote women into the senior ranks of the industry.
- Creating a sense of community: because it’s important to come together, as an industry, and enjoy the opportunity to recognise hard work and talent and to share ideas and experiences.
- Innovative: because looking forward, not back, overcoming traditional stereotypes and creating new ways of working are vital to helping our industries benefit from a better balance of male and female leaders
