ShopeeFood Celebrates Female Driver Partners in Special Women's Day Event


ShopeeFood recently hosted a special event to show appreciation for their female driver-partners in the Klang Valley in honor of International Women’s Day. The event was supported by leading brands like NIVEA, Marrybrown, Chatime, and L'Oréal Malaysia. About 60 female riders, accompanied by their friends, participated in the event.

In addition to the collaboration with leading brand partners, ShopeeFood also provided a personal development program led by Associate Professor Dr. Hadija Mohd, an expert in the field of humanities and social studies. The program was centered around the Personal Initiative Intelligence (PI-Q) framework, which aims to build essential soft skills that help driver partners improve their job performance. The unique approach focuses on developing the inner qualities of an individual, such as resilience, self-awareness, and empathy.

The female driver partners were also treated to a self-care workshop hosted by NIVEA. The experts from NIVEA helped the riders learn healthy skincare and good hygiene habits as they are often exposed to changing weather conditions while doing their work. At the end of the session, the female driver partners were also given NIVEA products to kickstart their skincare regime.
