Shinhan Financial Group Selects 44 Members for 4th Generation of 'Shinhan SheHeroes'... Full-Scale Development Begins

Promoting Female Role Models and Strengthening Networks
Chairman Jo Yong-byeong: "Let's Create a 'Female Leader Platform'"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] Shinhan Financial Group announced on the 8th that it has selected 44 members for the 4th class of its female leadership development program, 'Shinhan SHeroes,' and will begin full-scale training.

Shinhan SHeroes is the first female talent development program in the financial sector, launched in 2018 under the strong will of Chairman Jo Yong-byeong to nurture female leaders who will lead the future at the group level.

Since the launch of Shinhan SHeroes, Shinhan Financial has developed 143 female leaders up to the 3rd class last year, operating various programs such as group mentoring to strengthen leadership capabilities, special lectures focusing on humanities and the latest trends, and support for network expansion.

This year, the program has been further upgraded by reflecting feedback from previous participants. First, through participation in male mentor coaching, it plans to support the expansion of diverse leadership capabilities regardless of gender. Additionally, a mobile platform learning environment enabling self-directed learning will be established to provide various content such as digital, management strategy, leadership, and humanities on an ongoing basis.

Furthermore, under the leadership of SHeroes Seniors, composed of female executives working in group companies, the SHeroes Fellows system, which shares experience and knowledge, will be introduced to further strengthen the network of female leaders.

The 4th class launch ceremony was held via video conference considering the COVID-19 situation. Starting with congratulatory remarks from Deputy Head Jo Kyung-sun, a graduate of the 1st class of Shinhan SHeroes, the program introduction and leadership special lecture followed. In particular, Chairman Jo Yong-byeong congratulated the selected female leaders and presented rose-patterned scarves commemorating International Women's Day.

In his encouragement speech, Chairman Jo said, "I applaud the Shinhan SHeroes female leaders who have shown passion for learning and growth while doing their best in their given roles despite difficult circumstances," and urged, "Let us together make the Shinhan SHeroes program the best female leadership platform that experiences new work and promotes each other's growth and development."
