She was joined by Mapletree\u2019s Group Chief Financial Officer, Ms Wendy Koh. The session was moderated by former Mapletree Bursary recipient from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, Ms Sarah Kang. Together the speakers reflected on their professional journeys and shared practical insights on leadership, resilience and balancing career demands with motherhood. The session was attended by Mapletree employees, students and tenants, underscoring the Group\u2019s commitment to engaging a wider community in conversations on empowerment and opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Complementing this flagship event were a series of wellness focused talks. The <em>Pulse Traditional Chinese Medicine Talk <\/em>introduced participants to perspectives on hormone balance, digestive health and stress management, while the <em>Osteoporosis Prevention Talk <\/em>provided evidence-based guidance on recognising early risk factors and strengthening long-term bone health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees in Singapore also enjoyed a two-day <em>IWD Bazaar <\/em>showcasing food, crafts and home products from women-led businesses. To conclude the week, staff participated in a purple-themed mass walk along the Southern Waterfront, with Mapletree encouraging low-waste participation by inviting employees to repurpose or reuse items they already owned in the IWD colour.To further support continuous learning, Mapletree curated LinkedIn Learning courses focused on diversity, equity and inclusion. Internal communications to the week-long campaign highlighted the significance of IWD and reaffirmed Mapletree\u2019s ongoing commitment to fostering a fair, inclusive and supportive workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-mapletree-burnt-sienna-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-c8199005f4cabee679e33e4746a204a9\"><strong>Celebrating Continued Industry Recognition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-mapletree-burnt-sienna-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8f0b017f495f76d33511b4f63f0f3b9a\">Ms Sara Wayson, Head of Asset Management, Data Centre, US, was named Data Centre Magazine&#8217;s Top 100 Women in Data Centres List 2026, marking her second consecutive year of recognition.
