In Singapore, 92.3% of non-tertiary educated women reported experiencing pay-related discrimination, compared with 84.2% of their male counterparts.*

As careers become longer and more dynamic, career breaks, caregiving, and career transitions are becoming part of many women's professional journeys. These experiences should not result in unequal opportunities or unfair treatment.

Building inclusive workplaces means recognising talent beyond uninterrupted employment and valuing diverse career paths.

Join us at SAGE 2026 to explore practical strategies for creating workplaces that support women across every stage of their careers.

Workplaces are shaped by the assumptions behind them: when people work, how they progress, what commitment looks like, and how success is measured.

Today's workforce is more diverse than ever and building systems that work means questioning whether our workplace structures reflect the realities of the people within them.

Join us at SAGE 2026, where we'll explore how organisations can move from intention to action in creating more inclusive workplaces.

Leadership isn't only measured by decisions made in the boardroom. It begins with how we care for ourselves.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Own Your Health, Lead Beyond the Spreadsheets with Michelle Teo, Global Vice President at DKSH Healthcare.

Together, we explored why women's health deserves greater attention, not only as a personal priority, but as a leadership imperative. From advocating for better health outcomes to recognising the link between wellbeing, resilience, and effective leadership, the evening sparked meaningful conversations and practical reflections.

A special thank you to Michelle for sharing her insights and inspiring us to rethink what it means to lead with purpose.

Here's a look back at some moments from the session. 💜

Career breaks are often viewed as interruptions, but for many women, they're driven by caregiving responsibilities that are essential to families and society.

In Singapore, 72,600 residents left the labour force to provide care in 2025 and 82.9% were women.*

These numbers remind us that returning to work isn't simply a matter of motivation or confidence. It also depends on whether the right support systems are in place.

Join us at SAGE 2026, where leaders from business, research, and policy will explore the latest insights on return-to-work pathways, career longevity, and the practical actions organisations can take to build more inclusive workplaces.
