Our external speaker, Kanchana Bishop, Senior Risk Consultant, MWS Risk, will share her personal experience and insights working in traditionally male dominated (TMD) roles & industry with us.

Attendees to this interactive session will hear about:

  • The role that hiring managers can play in bringing about change

  • Communicating effectively with the next generation of workers as a means to bring about gender balance
  • How we can attract younger women into our operational teams

This event is relevant to industry professionals passionate about making gender balance change from any level/position, people looking for Inspiration how to build and lead diverse teams and anyone looking to form genuine connections within the NAWO network.
