SNP has launched an initiative dedicated to supporting a higher representation of female leadership throughout the company. The aim is to set a highly regarded example of workplace excellence and achievement, particularly for women.
SNP’s General Manager for People and Culture, Darlene Winston, says that SNP encompasses all aspects of leadership capability, career progression and work/life balance. The company is working towards better support for female leaders with leading-edge skills, expertise and networks and this will better equip them with the highest level capacity to lead.
“The ‘SNP Women in Leadership’ program will connect women in security, providing them with ongoing tools, support and advice at every stage of their journey to become a leader,” says Winston.
Tamara Bayly, SNP’s National Manager of Risk, Safety & Compliance, says nine years ago when she changed her career from the police force to join SNP security as a guards and patrol coordinator, she did not envisage that she would be in a national management position.
Tamara says she had been offered numerous promotions in SNP where her leadership skills were well nurtured and developed.
“I believe that a good leader must be able to communicate their vision clearly, encouraging others to follow their lead. They must communicate clearly and passionately, as passion is genuine and highly contagious”.
Darlene says Tamara displays exceptional leadership qualities, clearly defining her vision as well as demonstrating a firm grasp on what success looks like and importantly, how to achieve it.
“Every organisation needs leaders at every level and leaders can be found and nurtured if you look for the following character traits, this is the basis of how we drive our people programs at SNP,” says Darlene.
“Tamara’s team and other colleagues have commended her for integrity, dedication, magnanimity, openness, creativity, fairness, humility and also her great sense of humour,” says Darlene.
