HPM’s Building Women Hosts Inaugural Building Women’s Forum
In the Spring of 2023, HPM launched company-wide initiative, Building Women equipping females with the necessary tools for success to achieve their career goals, eliminating barriers to success by creating opportunities for mentorship, networking and professional development with strategies to thrive – both inside and outside of the company.
A fundamental component of the initiative is the annual Women’s Forum, providing women across the footprint an opportunity to gather in one place to learn, network and support career growth and advancement.
The Inaugural forum was held Oct. 24-26, 2023 at Pursell Farms in Sylacauga, Alabama. Company leadership presented on various topics impacting females in the workforce, imparting wisdom, vision and inspiration, including self-advocacy in the workplace, work-life integration, strategic communication and more. Vital to the two-day event were round table discussions, providing a platform for meaningful dialogue and connection.
Most importantly, the event was built upon the foundation of HPM’s core values, weaving in specific components that are integral to company culture. HPM is committed to continuing this annual form, providing an equitable platform to discuss challenges related to the ever-evolving corporate landscape and providing innovative solutions for advancing women within the company and beyond.
