    Accelerating Women's Opportunities in the Workplace - International Women's Day 2024 - Episode 89

    Accelerating Women's Opportunities in the Workplace - International Women's Day 2024 - Episode 89

    International Women's Day isn't country or organisation specific. It's a day of collective global activism and celebration that belongs to all those committed to forging women's equality. In recent years the narrative around international women’s day has changed though, with some arguing that it’s become ‘corporatised’ and ‘performative’ as to lose all meaning.

    Which is why in this week's episode of the Public Sector Podcast we've chosen to focus on the tangible – the strategies and transformations doing their part to drive action and change for women in the workforce.

    Isabeau Korpel, Melissa Martino and Sue-Ann Charlton discuss strategies to breakdown class ceilings and accelerate womens' opportunities in the workplace in a special edition of the Public Sector Podcast.

    Belonging & Empowerment: The Future of Women in the Workplace - International Women's Day 2024 - Episode 88

    Belonging & Empowerment: The Future of Women in the Workplace - International Women's Day 2024 - Episode 88

    International Women's Day is a day to recognise how far we’ve come towards gender equality, and also how far we have left to go. Don't get us wrong - a little over a hundred years ago only a handful of countries allowed women to vote and equal pay for equal work was unheard of.

    We're making strides in the right direction, but there's still more work to be done.

    In recognition of IWD we've bought together a panel of women leaders making considerable contributions to their respective organizations in the pursuit of women's empowerment, belonging and relevance.

    Dr Jessica Jones, Michaela Doelman and Silvia Fraser discuss the importance of investing in women and accelerating progress in this week's episode of the Public Sector Podcast.

    Alignment, Cost & Engagement: The Benefits of Project Management - Nisreen Hussain - Episode 87

    Alignment, Cost & Engagement: The Benefits of Project Management - Nisreen Hussain - Episode 87

    Without proactive project management you'll find yourself constantly firefighting, your team unengaged, and your business unit operating as a siloed lone ranger. All this leads to poor quality deliverables and damage to reputation.

    The City of Edmonton found themselves in the same boat. Projects faltered and the City operated reactively, without clear alignment or integration with broader City functions. With a four-pronged approach, focused on:

    1. Direction
    2. Transparency
    3. People
    4. Measures

    The City of Edmonton successfully realigned Project Management functions to deliver wide-spread business value. Nisreen Hussain shares the City's story in this week's episode of the Public Sector Podcast.
