Women in Leadership

We’re delighted to confirm that our our Women in Leadership series returns after a forced hiatus for the last 18 months.  Our first Women in Leadership speaker of 2022 will be Dr Sinéad Brennan, Chief People Officer with the National Treasury Management Agency.   During her talk, Sinéad will touch on the timely topics of “the great resignation”, building an inclusive culture in your organisation and engaging employees – particularly in hybrid working models.
