At DFI Retail Group, we respect each other regardless of age, gender, roles and seniority – free of bias, stereotypes or discrimination – to co-build a healthy, diverse and inclusive workplace! Marking its first anniversary, the DFI Women’s Network has successfully rolled out the Mentorship Programme. To prepare our mentors and mentees in maintaining healthy relationship and allow everyone grow together through this journey, last Friday (9 Jun) we invited Anna Champion, Head of Early Careers and Group Coaching of Jardine Matheson, to share with our mentors & mentees some tips and advice on important topics like creating trust and the secret of success in a mentor-mentee relationship of “being present”. We had an interactive and fruitful afternoon with Anna and fellow mentors and mentees. Let's #EmbraceEquity.
At DFI, we believe that our people are our greatest asset, and we are committed to creating a supportive and inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive during their DFI journey. Earlier we hosted a welcome session for a group of new joiners across different teams to meet with our leadership team. Our leaders introduced themselves through a series of engaging sessions, shared their personal stories and wisdom as well as their vision for the company with our newest team members. To our new colleagues... welcome to the DFI family! We are excited to have you onboard and we hope this event served as one of the many platforms for everyone to connect and grow together as a team at DFI!
The Pokfulam farm, the founding place of the DFI Retail Group, is now reopened as a public attraction. It is classified as Grade I historic building, representing Hong Kong’s history for over 130 years and how the Pokfulam community has evolved over time. Visitors can understand and appreciate the Farm’s history, the city’s transformation, and its connection with the surrounding settlement culture through guided tours, exhibitions, workshops, and artefact displays. To conserve the historical heritage and the Pokfulam neighbourhood, Caritas Hong Kong and Pokfulam Village Cultural Landscape Conservation Group, both non-profit organisations, started revitalising the Farm with the local authorities more than a decade ago. Underpinning our ongoing sustainability developments, we have taken part in the project since 2017 to preserve the distinctive value of the Farm and its contributions to the community and help educate the public to respect nature and history. Though we have transformed over the years and rebranded to DFI, our heart for serving the community remains unchanged.
In April, DFI Retail Group held our first SEA Leadership Conference since the pandemic, where we celebrated our transformational achievements and shared our ambitions for growth. The conference focused on the critical enablers of our company’s success – our People. We brought together team members from our seven markets – Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and Hong Kong. One of the highlights was hearing from knowledge experts from Bain, Google Cloud, healthcare app TELEME and DBS Bank about economic and industry trends, and potential challenges and growth opportunities for the retail industry. We also discussed the importance of gender diversity and the roles of leaders to communicate, engage and inspire teams on their DFI journey. Our team’s energy, passion and commitment has been truly inspiring!
