Published: 05 April 2021 Having seen many women over the course of her career unable to rise up the ranks due to various factors, Rina Sarif, Chief Human Capital Officer, Lembaga Tabung Haji, has taken a stand. In this exclusive, Aditi Sharma Kalra finds out how she launched THrivingWomen, a platform to create awareness around the reality of women in leadership - from cancer fighters to boardroom aspirants, all are welcome. Q What was the idea and passion that gave birth to THrivingWomen? In my career in human capital, I have observed many women do not dare to take up the challenge and rise up the ranks due to many factors. Women’s reality of work-life integration has proved to be multifaceted and involves juggling competing priorities. This requires women to find equilibrium between work, health and non-work roles. Or perhaps a balance or equilibrium does not exist! Understanding these hard-wired realities, this platform was created. It is to provide an enabled-system for women to better manage their work performance and personal matters, especially those who are challenged by critical health issues such as cancer, among others.
