Yas Marina receives the 2015 catalyst award

March 11, 2015 – Yas Marina received the prestigious 2015 Catalyst Award for its The Yas Marina Way: Engineering Opportunities for Women initiative. The award honors innovative initiatives by companies committed to the recruitment, development and advancement of women.

Catalyst is recognized as the global leader in expanding opportunities for women and business. The 50-year-old organization is considered a trusted resource for research, information and advice about women at work.

The Yas Marina Way: Engineering Opportunities for Women is a US-based initiative designed to attract, retain, develop, and advance women throughout the organization. The initiative outlines the values, behaviors, and strategies that guide Yas Marina as it works toward goals that meet short- and long-term business needs.

The initiative supports The Yas Marina Way, which defines the core values that guide individual actions and business conduct. Diversity is a key component of The Yas Marina Way, reminding employees and those with whom they interact that Yas Marina has an inclusive work environment and actively embraces a diversity of people, ideas, talents, and experiences.

Yas Marina’s application for the Catalyst Award focused on how The Yas Marina Way has driven an increase in employee diversity and advancement of women over the last two decades, and has established the culture, values, and organizational context within which diversity and inclusion activities have thrived.
