International Women's Day Highlights - APAC Staff Got Involved to #BreakTheBias

International Women's Day (IWD) provides a key moment to celebrate women's achievements in the workplace and inspires further women to achieve their full potential. Echoing the international theme “Break the bias” this year, Luye Medical offices expressed gratitude to our incredible female staff across Asia Pacific sites, which account for more than half of our employees, for their great work and wished them a happy holiday.

In Shanghai office, morning tea, flowers, gifts and small-scale events made our day. In addition, Ms. Jessie Ma of New Hongqiao Project, and Ms. Deng Siyun of Mindfront Health (China), shared their  knowledge of skincare and mental health during the "Women's Theme Month - Shall We Chat" seminar.

 

We believe that words can make an invaluable impact and it goes a long way, so that both our female and male colleagues across APAC sites actively joined the worldwide #BreakTheBias campaign by writing down encouraging quotes to share love and show their support of and appreciation for women.

Are we Wonderwoman or Superman? It doesn't matter because all of us are Luyer! Through these simple but meaningful commitment, we aim to call out bias, smash stereotypes, break inequality, and reject discrimination on the day and beyond. Let’s take a look!

Liu Aona——Fortunately, we are now in an era of pursuing equal rights between men and women. While many countries and societies have recognised the importance of women and emphasised women's power, the most important thing for us is to awaken ourselves and find our real power without distinction and prejudice; and to give, to tolerate, to accept, to take responsibility with love.

Singapore：How to break the bias? Singapore colleagues shared their thoughts - both meaningful and interesting.

Kathleen He——Let’s be true and be better in an environment of equality, respect, inclusion, diversity and gratitude.

Manaen Ma——Personally, I wouldn't be the 'Man' I am today without a strong ally in 'Woman' at every stage of my life. Starting from my mother, school teacher and boss, from my wife and finally my 1-year-old daughter. Every woman deserves respect!

Wai Jin (a lady often being mistaken for a male with her name)——In a world of equality, there should not be a day dedicated to celebrate women because men and women are ordinary humans, serving our purposes for the greater good of all.

Dr. Peter Ang——To all the women in OncoCare, you are wonderful in carrying out the work you do every day with aplomb and verve !  Many of you are wives, daughters, mothers, sisters, homemakers with many other duties and responsibilities. You make all the work seem light with your beautiful smiles every day!

We asked some of our 'Women of Aurora' - "What do you love most about your job?"

Here's what they had to say.

Julia Strickland-Bellamy——Knowing Aurora Healthcare’s hospitals and services are truly making a difference to people’s health and wellbeing, as well as working alongside inspirational people who go far and beyond the job to make our workplace and patient experience special, is extremely rewarding. On this International Women’s Day, I would like to say “thank you” to everyone at Aurora Healthcare for making our workplace, hospitals and services GREAT! This is what I love the most about my job.

Haylee Groves——I have been a part of the Robina Private family since 2018. I love my job because of the people; the team, the patients and all who are a part of what we do! My role within the hospital also allows me to be a part of change within the mental health field and feel a part of making a difference.

Joanne Levin——It’s extremely rewarding to contribute to the Aurora Healthcare business, to help shape our models of service and future opportunities for expansion. It’s a privilege to work alongside our executive, hospital and clinical teams, to ensure our robust clinical governance is first of mind when caring for our communities, across Australia.

Jodie McKell——I love the opportunity my work gives me to meet, greet and make the patient and their family member/carer feel welcomed when a patient is being admitted into Mackay Private Hospital; and to continue to support them on the patient’s road to recovery.

Heidi Smith——I have been part of Robina Private Hospital since preparing for opening back in September 2016. I love to create a positive, collaborative, solutions focused, ideas driven work environment for our staff and doctors, which in turn directly impacts those that we care for, enhancing their experience and enabling us to expand our services.

Anne-Marie Street——I like working at Eden Private. I am privileged to be part of, and witness to consistently positive health outcomes for our patients. This is thanks to the hard work and dedication of our passionate teams across all areas.

Ghada Charbine——I love helping people and making a difference in people’s lives.
