06.11.26DigitalEventNationalNine Dials for Gender BalanceWebinarWebinar

As we reach the final session in this year's Nine Dials learning series, November turns our attention to Dial 6: Sponsorship and Succession, a powerful driver of long term gender balance in operations. This dial focuses on the proactive identification and support of high potential women and gender diverse talent, and the systems that ensure leadership pipelines reflect the full diversity of the workforce.

In this session, we will explore what meaningful sponsorship looks like in practice, how informal networks influence opportunity, and the ways organisations can build transparent and equitable succession processes. We will discuss practical actions leaders can take to advocate for emerging talent, remove barriers to advancement and create pathways that genuinely prepare people for future leadership roles.

Participants will also reflect on how progress on this dial strengthens the entire Nine Dials framework, shaping recruitment, development, career pathways and inclusive leadership capability. As the final session of the year, we will bring together insights from across the series and highlight actions that can support ongoing momentum into the year ahead.

About NAWO’s ‘Tuning into the Nine Dials’ sessions

NAWO’s Nine Dials for Gender Balance outline the areas we know can ‘turn the dial’ on gender balance in operations. Each month we’ll be exploring a Dial in detail, starting with a deep dive session on the first Thursday of the month. These online events will focus on what organisations can do to ‘turn up’ the dial, and how NAWO can support.
