This International Women’s Day, K2 is honouring the exceptional contributions of our global female workforce.
K2 is committed to fostering an environment where its employees are empowered to drive innovation and lead transformative change, regardless of location, seniority, gender or any other defining characteristic. Inspired by the Accelerate Action theme, we wanted to take this opportunity to showcase some of the women of K2, from across all levels of the business, who are key to accelerating our mission of providing seamless global mobility solutions and meeting our Kinetic strategy goals. At the end of 2024, 66% of K2’s global employee population were women, so it stands to reason that women, from all offices and across all levels of the business, can often be found at the forefront of the company, shaping our growth and success. Today, we reflect on how their unwavering commitment continues to inspire progress and propel us toward a more inclusive, diverse, and action-oriented future.
明天（3月8日）是国际妇女节。今年国际妇女节是庆祝女性社会、经济、文化和政治成就的全球日，其主题是 加快行动。这一主题集体呼吁增强解决性别不平等问题的势头和紧迫性，并邀请政府、工作场所和个人采取行动。
K2致力于营造一个环境，让其员工无论身在何处、资历、性别或任何其他决定性特征如何，都有能力推动创新和领导变革。
灵感来自 加快行动 主题，我们想借此机会展示K2中来自各个业务层面的一些女性，她们是加快我们提供无缝全球出行解决方案和实现Kinetic战略目标的使命的关键。
到2024年底，K2的全球员工总数中有66％是女性，因此，来自各个办公室和业务层面的女性通常会站在公司的最前沿，塑造我们的成长和成功，这是有道理的。
今天，我们反思他们坚定不移的承诺如何继续激发进步，推动我们走向更具包容性、多元化和以行动为导向的未来。
K2的女性领导了关键项目，引入了新想法，并在取得重要成果方面发挥了关键作用。

K2 不会停滞不前：作为一个组织，我们不断发展和评估我们的流程，寻找提高所有利益相关者的效率和体验的方法。
这种对持续改进的承诺是加快行动和保持事情朝着正确方向发展的关键。”
关于雇主可以采取哪些关键行动来支持女性发挥潜力并在工作场所产生影响，雪莱补充说：
“营造一种让所有员工都感到被重视和尊重的包容性文化至关重要。应该让员工感觉自己有发言权，可以影响变革，他们的所作所为在某种程度上有所作为。
在K2，我们的团队致力于实施我们的人员与文化战略，并确保K2仍然是理想的工作场所®，不是对某些人而言，而是对所有人而言。
通过引入支持灵活工作和促进工作与生活平衡的举措，K2创造了一个工作场所，在这个工作场所中，不仅支持女性取得成功，而且有能力茁壮成长。”

当被问及她对可持续发展冠军计划等计划在个人发展中所起的作用有何看法时，琼妮解释说：

沙希达解释说，她的母亲一直是她一生中最重要的女性榜样：
“我妈妈一直是我的榜样。她的存在使我成长为今天的我。从我很小的时候起，她就从未向我展示过她在整个童年时期面对困难的力量。她做饭、打扫卫生、工作并照顾我们——我父亲外出做船舶工程师的时候有四个兄弟姐妹。我们都成长得很好，很欣赏灌输给我们的东西。
我迄今为止学到和使用的价值观：
尊重 — 尊重自己和他人。
分享和捐赠 — 与他人分享我们的宝藏和美味的食物。
耐力 — 遇到困难时永远不要放弃。某个地方会有解决方案。
通过将这些价值观教给我的孩子，我与下一代分享了这些价值观。”
是什么让沙希达想成为慈善冠军？
“我在K2的第一年就加入了慈善冠军计划。能够收集捐款并与需要支持的人分享捐款，这给了我极大的满足感与和平感。
我为K2将这一举措作为我们文化的一部分以及我们可以对当地社区产生的影响感到自豪。”
Karen Ee，搬迁经理
凯伦她与Shahida一起在新加坡K2工作，既是搬迁经理又是慈善冠军，她对每个人为使我们更接近性别平等可以采取的简单步骤发表了自己的看法：
“我认为重要的是要记住，小而一致的行动可以带来巨大的变化。
教育起着至关重要的作用；我们应鼓励学校和工作场所提供教育方案，传授尊重、平等和公平的价值观。我们可以通过指导女性并支持她们的个人发展来表示支持。使用包容、中立的语言是促进性别平等的另一种简单而有力的方式。”
凯伦在分享自己如何实现工作与生活平衡时说：
“除了定义工作时间、确定关键任务的优先顺序和实施其他策略以平衡之外，对我来说，练习自我保健也很重要。我会抽出时间和我的健身伙伴（我的两个同事）一起在健身房锻炼身体，或者带着运动垫在家里锻炼身体。我的座右铭是 “做某事总比什么都不做好”，无论是五分钟还是长达一个小时的锻炼。它有助于减轻压力，促进整体健康，并帮助我清晰地思考。有时在锻炼过程中，我会找到解决棘手案例的解决方案，甚至可以解决我女儿的数学问题！
在YouTube上观看室内设计，或带着我的三只狗去长途散步，或者一杯葡萄酒一起听 “Spirited Away” 的配乐，可以帮助我放松身心，放松身心。而且，不要忘记与同事分享经验可以提供见解和相互支持。”
通过在领导力、技术、运营等方面表现出色，我们的女性同事激励下一代女性茁壮成长并取得成功。

我们请伊莎贝尔分享她对增强工作中女性同事能力的一些方法的看法：

做到这一点的最有效方法之一是通过指导和赞助，积极指导女性的职业发展，倡导她们的进步。
在K2，适应能力和解决问题至关重要，重要的是要确保女性也有机会获得领导机会和职业发展计划。
鼓励就职业抱负进行公开对话，为平衡工作与生活提供灵活性，并表彰成就，有助于创造一个让女性感到被重视和有动力追求卓越的环境。”
关于 “什么才是优秀的领导者？” 的问题，伊莎贝尔回应说：
“优秀的领导者，尤其是在搬迁行业，必须具有适应能力、善解人意和以解决方案为导向。
领导全球交通项目需要对不同文化的深刻理解、有效的沟通以及在压力下保持冷静的能力。
我相信，强有力的领导力就是激励和赋予团队权力，促进协作，诚信领导。
优秀的领导者还会通过不断学习和鼓励他人成长来优先考虑自己和团队的职业发展。
在K2，领导力是建立信任，做出明智的决定，并确保客户和受让人在整个搬迁过程中都感到支持。”

From championing diversity and inclusion to leading sustainability and committing to social responsibility efforts, K2 women are making an impact far beyond our company.
Ana, who is based in K2’s São Paulo office, was instrumental in the delivery of the São Paulo school project, overseeing the construction alongside her day job over the last two years.
Ana shared her views on the importance of organisations encouraging their employees to give back: “I think it’s really important for organisations to encourage employees to give back. It not only makes employees feel good and more engaged, but it also helps build a positive, supportive work culture. When we are involved in causes our colleagues care about, it boosts morale and can make them feel more connected to the company. Also, companies that focus on giving back tend to attract people who value those same things, which is great for recruitment and retention. It’s a win for the company, the employees, and the community.”
Asked about the proudest moment of her career at K2, Ana said: “Without a doubt, being one of the people leading on the project which saw us building a school in Brazil through the K2 Foundation was a huge milestone for me, and having the trust of my Director made all the difference in decision-making and the results we achieved.”
Since joining K2 in 2022 Dora has been a vital contributor to some of the businesses most prominent accounts, consistently leading large operational project teams with expertise and dedication. Her ability to ensure consistency and cohesion within her team has been crucial to the success of these projects, which have required effective collaboration with multiple internal departments.
Dora’s positive, can-do attitude is a hallmark of her work ethic, always going the extra mile to ensure the highest levels of service and client satisfaction. Her unwavering commitment and passion for her role embody K2Q.
Dora is also part of the True Q team, responsible for delivering K2’s DE&I strategy and driving positive change.
Alongside her role as Bespoke Relocation Manager in K2’s Cape Town office, Joanie is the regional Sustainability Champion for K2 Africa.
When asked for her thoughts on the role programmes like the Sustainability Champion initiative play in personal development, Joanie explained: “Being involved in K2’s Sustainability Champion initiative is a rewarding experience and plays many roles in personal development and growth. The initiative provides personal fulfilment, empowering members of the team to positively impact the environment and create a better world for all. Stronger leadership skills are developed by way of inspiring, motivating and empowering others towards more sustainable practices. Communication and problem-solving skills are also improved, and it pushes one to think more critically about innovative solutions. Of course, the Sustainability Champion initiative also plays a big role in feeling more confident about driving strategy and making sustainable choices in daily life.”
The advice she would offer to her younger self, starting her career? “Be your future-self’s best friend, you’ll thank yourself later. Every experience, whether positive or negative, is an opportunity for growth. Never stop learning and growing: the day you think you know it all, is the day you are old. Be your best most authentic self, be the owner of your reality, make a positive difference everywhere you go, and stay true to your values, regardless of the world around you.”
Shahida Hamid is a Relocation Manager in K2’s Singapore office. Alongside this role, she is one of the Charity Champions for her region.
Shahida explains that her mother has been the most significant female role model in her life: “My mom has always been my role model. Her presence has developed me into what I am today. Ever since I was young, she has never failed to show me her strength in facing difficulties throughout our childhood. She cooked, cleaned, worked, and took care of us – 4 siblings while my dad was away working as ship engineer. We all grew up well and appreciate what has been instilled in us". Values that I learned and use to this day:
Respect – Respect ourselves and others.
Share and Give – Share our treasures and delicious food with others.
Endurance – Never give up when things are difficult. There will be a solution somewhere.
I have shared these values with the next generation by teaching them to my children.”
What made Shahida want to become a Charity Champion? “I joined the Charity Champions programme during my first year in K2. Being able to gather and share donations with those who need support has given me an enormous sense of fulfilment and peace. I am proud that K2 offers this initiative as part of our culture, and of the impact that we can have on our local community.”
Karen, who works alongside Shahida in K2 Singapore as both Relocation Manager and Charity Champion, offered her thoughts on the simple steps that can be taken by everyone to get us closer to gender equality: “I think it’s important to remember that small, consistent actions can lead to big changes. Education plays a crucial role; we should encourage schools and workplaces to deliver education programmes that teach the value of respect, equality and fairness. We can show support by mentoring women and supporting their personal development. Using inclusive, neutral language is another simple but powerful way to promote gender equality.”
Sharing how she achieves work-life balance, Karen says: “Besides defining work hours, prioritizing key tasks and implementing other strategies to navigate equilibrium, for me practising self-care, is also important. I will make time to work out at the gym with my gym buddies (two of my colleagues) or at home with an exercise mat. My motto is ‘doing something is better than nothing’, be it five minutes or an hour-long workout. It helps to reduce stress, boost overall health and helps me to think clearly. Sometimes during my workout, I find a solution to challenging cases or even solve my daughter’s math question! Watching interior design on YouTube or going for long walks with my three dogs or listening to the ‘Spirited Away’ soundtrack with a glass of wine helps me to unwind and go to a chill level. And not forgetting sharing experiences with colleagues can provide insights and mutual support.”
By excelling in leadership, technology, operations, and more, our female colleagues inspire the next generation of women to thrive and succeed.
Helen Squibb began working with K2 in 2015, with many years’ mobility experience under her belt, having worked as part of an in-house GM team before moving across into the world of consultancy.
Helen’s breadth of knowledge and experience, paired with her willingness to share it, means her impact at K2 often extends far beyond her role of Global Mobility & HR Advisory.
Her diverse skillset and passion for project management, have led to her involvement in a number of additional projects alongside her main role, including the onboarding of some of K2’s key, and most complex, clients.
An advocate for collaborative working, Helen is valued for the way in which she always ensures that members of any project teams she’s involved with are given the opportunity to shine, creating an environment where individuals can grow and reach their full potential.

Isabelle Badamallet is based in Paris, and is an integral part of K2 France’s small but dynamic team. Having joined K2 in 2022, Isabelle has recently progressed to the role of Senior Relocation Manager. Her wealth of industry experience sees her also offering immigration support, alongside relocation management.
We asked Isabelle to share her thoughts on some of the ways to empower female colleagues at work: “In the relocation and global mobility industry, fostering a supportive and inclusive work environment is key to empowering female colleagues. One of the most effective ways to do this is through mentorship and sponsorship, actively guiding women in their career development and advocating for their advancement. At K2, where adaptability and problem-solving are critical, it’s important to ensure that women also have access to leadership opportunities and professional development programmes. Encouraging open conversations about career aspirations, providing flexibility for work-life balance and recognising achievements help to create an environment where women feel valued and motivated to excel.”
On the question of ‘what makes a good leader?’, Isabelle responded: “A good leader, especially in the relocation industry, must be adaptable, empathetic and solution-oriented. Leading global mobility projects requires a deep understanding of different cultures, effective communication, and the ability to remain calm under pressure. I believe strong leadership is about inspiring and empowering teams, fostering collaboration, and leading with integrity. A great leader also prioritises professional development – both for themselves and their team – by continually learning and encouraging others to grow. At K2, leadership is about building trust, making informed decisions, and ensuring that both clients and assignees feel supported throughout the relocation process.”
Mayra Rivera has been at K2 for eight years, and throughout this time she has continued to impress clients and colleagues.
