Achieving gender balance at work isn’t about fixing the women, it’s about changing the system to enable the retention and progression of women in the workplace. So, if you’re looking for insights, guidance or advice on how to improve gender equality in your organisation, grab a cuppa, go for a walk, or escape for a while and join us for today’s conversation. It is a pleasure to welcome Shirine Khoury-Haq as my guest today.

She joins me today to talk about her career and her advice on how we can move the dial on gender equality.
