Vantage Point were delighted to become an official partner of Women in Banking & Finance (WIBF) in December, with the launch of the ConneXion Hub. As one of the first strategic partners, we are excited to support WIBF's mission.
About WIBF
WIBF is a pioneering membership network that has championed women in financial services for over 40 years. With branches across the UK, WIBF supports women's career ambitions through development programmes, leadership opportunities, and networking events. As a volunteer-led enterprise at the forefront of debates, lobbying, and policy-making, WIBF works to establish practical solutions that help the financial services sector realise the benefits of diversity and inclusion.
Introducing ConneXion Hub
The ConneXion Hub is a new initiative designed to strengthen WIBF's mission by developing partnerships with organisations that share their values. These collaborations aim to benefit both individual and corporate WIBF members, with a focus on enhancing leadership development for women in the industry.
Our Shared Commitment
WIBF's dedication to driving real change in the banking and finance industry is key to our partnership. At Vantage Point, we too are passionate about breaking down barriers for women and providing the support and upskilling needed to build confidence. Our Elevate Programme empowers women to thrive in their roles, whether they are starting out, returning to work, or pursuing a career change. We are also dedicated to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). We are proud that 44% of our team are women and we have a pay gap of -2.47%. This commitment to DEI aligns perfectly with WIBF's mission to champion women and promote diversity and inclusion across the sector.
Kicking Off the Partnership
Last month, we kicked off the partnership with a powerful webinar delivered by our COO, Tracy Jordan. Tracy shared insights from her 28-year career in banking, the challenges she faced when returning after a career break, and the steps she took to empower other women. The crucial message of the webinar was 'Be the change, empower others, and accelerate action.' Tracy encouraged attendees to make an impact in their organisations by broadening their networks, advocating for others, and challenging the status quo.
Looking Ahead
We are excited for our partnership to grow and look forward to utilising this collaboration to elevate women's careers and connect with more like-minded organisations.
