SUMMARY:Women in Leadership 2022
DESCRIPTION:Elevating the Role of Women in the Public Sector\nWomen have made a tremendous impact in the government; advocating for change\, influencing policy and law and paving the way for future generations. Despite the continuous efforts made\, women remain underrepresented within the public sector landscape. Women are still faced with challenges and barriers that only increase if they are a woman of colour\, are part of the LGBTQ2+ community or have disabilities. There is a significant disparity of women in leadership roles within both public and private sectors. This is due to longstanding stereotypes and biases\, which impact women from the time they are young girls. Systemic change is required to overcome and shift the perception surrounding women’s leadership. \nStatistics show that having women in positions of leadership directly influences and improves the socio-economic landscape for all. It is reported that there is a direct correlation between women leaders in government and the creation and implementation of more inclusive and equitable policies both internally and within our communities. \nIn this fifth segment of Public Sector Network’s Women in Leadership series 2022\, we will explore key factors that continue to hinder or discourage women leaders\, and how we can address and overcome them. We will discuss the importance of mentorship programs\, allyship and leadership development. We will examine what it takes to make a great leader and how to challenge common barriers. Most importantly\, we will highlight the strategies needed to quash what is problematic within our system and what we can all do to pave the road for the next generation of women wanting to pursue a leadership role.

SUMMARY:Corporate & Shared Services National Insights – Fall Edition
DESCRIPTION:Event Overview\nOptimizing Service Delivery Through a United Approach \nAs our governments look to further their transformation journeys\, it is important to look back at what we’ve accomplished and yet acknowledge the work that still has to be done. While many sectors have successfully implemented strong foundations for sustainable development\, the adoption of consolidated and integrated corporate and shared services operations has presented many challenges. It is crucial that we address those barriers and find viable solutions. \nThis webinar will explore the shift to consolidated government functions and examine key factors both driving success and hindering efforts. While many of our government departments have been operating sufficiently with the legacy systems as is\, it is essential to understand the risk this poses to our government and our communities. Policies need to further address the transformation needed to keep up with shifting demand and priorities. \nAdopting more innovative and flexible solutions to procurement\, finance and operational processes will only strengthen our governments. Creating policies that are more adaptable and amenable to change will leave room for growth. Embracing a centralized approach through modern digital solutions\, enforced by leadership\, will create more resilient and future-focused enterprises.
