Our purpose
Today, only 8% of the top 50 companies with the highest turnover in Hungary have a female CEO. We need to change the perspective, we need leadership commitment and also supporting programs to achieve that our leadership reflects the composition of our society. In line with HBLF's mission, we believe that we are stronger together and have a greater impact on the necessary changes, giving women too a chance to lead.
How does HBLF X Mentor program work?
The HBLF mentoring program gives access to one of the top senior leaders of HBLF network, many with international experience. Several our women mentors have been listed by Forbes Hungary among the top most influential women leaders in the country. Over the course of 12 months participants have the chance for 1:1 (online or offline) sessions with a dedicated mentor to receive feedback, guidance and inspiration or get introductions to their networks. The timing and locations of the sessions is up to the participants. We provide a structured introduction & preparation programme and we recommend the mentor-mentee pairs to outline the objectives and ways of working in a mentoring contract.
Within the X Mentor programme we also offer participants workshops e.g. about increasing confidence and career development.

The issue of gender equality became very important in the light of the new European Union directive, according to which the underrepresented gender must reach a minimum of 33% in the executive board in listed companies. In 2023 the HBLF will launch the HBLF Xmentor Executive program for newly appointed board members and partners or candidates. Within this program, on top of the mentoring we provide 3 workshops focusing on risks, liabilities, and reputation.
