How did we get here and what have we learnt on the way?

Past topics have included:

Women leaders in the sector who are paving the way for others to flourish in waste management careers.
Why women are attracted to environmental roles but perhaps don’t see themselves as working in waste or resource.
The drive of consumer focus on resources – will this drive more passion and demand for the industry.
Re-organising business structure post-covid.
How flexible working can advance/combat gender equality at work.
Personal development and professional development.
What are the challenges and how do you overcome them in career success?

Participants will engage in lively discussions about the factors that influence and sometimes constrain women's career paths in our sector. The session aims to highlight strategies for overcoming barriers and fostering a supportive environment that encourages diversity, inclusion, and success.
