Creating a truly inclusive workplace starts with how jobs are scoped and defined. In many industries, particularly historically male-oriented ones, outdated job design can unintentionally exclude diverse candidates and reinforce inequality. This webinar explores how to design roles and assess job requirements through a gender-equitable lens to open up opportunities for women and support fair, inclusive career pathways for all employees.

You’ll discover how to proactively address bias by rethinking how job descriptions are written – focusing on what’s genuinely essential rather than including unnecessarily restrictive criteria.

We’ll explore how recruiters and hiring managers can distinguish between critical capabilities and “nice-to-have” skills to widen the talent pool without compromising on quality.

The session will also guide you through considering how your work environment and organisational culture support inclusion so that your job design efforts are brought to life day to day.

Whether you’re working to attract more women into male-oriented industries or striving to embed equity across your organisation, this webinar offers practical strategies to help you drive real change.
