International Women’s Day 2022:
An Environment of Empowerment Event

All NSW public sector employees are invited to a virtual event to hear female senior leaders discuss what it takes to create environments of empowerment this International Women’s Day.

Gender equity in the workplace is a priority for the NSW public sector. Each of us has a role to play in making our workplaces safe and supportive of women.

Speakers will discuss their diverse pathways to senior leadership and their goals for the future of gender equity in NSW. They will identify the changes they would like to see in dismantling the structural barriers to women being able to fully participate in all decision-making roles.

Female members of the NSW Secretaries Board will join in a panel discussion with event MC, journalist and broadcaster Tracey Spicer.

The event is hosted by the NSW Public Service Commission and will be held online on Tuesday 8 March from 9.30am – 10.30am.
