URC partnered with Lean In Network – Kuwait to host a Lean In Circle Leader Training, promoting mentorship and leadership for women. The event marked the launch of the “Women at URC” Lean In Circle, which meets monthly and is currently completing the Centered Leadership series to empower female employees.

In alignment with our commitment as a signatory to the UN Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) and the Kuwait Women’s Economic Empowerment Program (KWEEP), on September 04, 2024 we organized a Lean In Circle Leader Training in collaboration with the Lean In Network – Kuwait, a platform dedicated to empowering women and instilling personal and professional growth. The workshop emphasized the importance of mentorship, peer support, and leadership development for women.

At this workshop, URC announced the launch of the “Women at URC” Lean In Circle. Starting October 2024, this circle meets monthly with the aim of building connection, empowerment, and leadership among women across the organization. The inaugural meeting brought together 12 female employees to build a supportive community and set collective goals for the circle. In its second session, the group launched the “Centered Leadership” series—a five-part program focused on helping women lead with impact, resilience, and purpose.

The circle continues to meet monthly and is committed to completing the Centered Leadership training series during 2025.
