analysing the current economic landscape, including its developments and challenges,

and covered a range of subjects that are becoming increasingly important in the fields of
international trade, business, and human resources. In addition, Bin Khatam explained

methodologies for institutional operations and service delivery. She stated that it not only

ensures gender balance through human resource policies and regulations but also

explores the future features of work environments and job skills.

constructive concepts and ideas on a wider scale as they are held in collaboration with the

OECD.

During the webinar on ‘Promoting Gender Balance in the Workforce,’ the OECD also

presented a comprehensive overview of the gender policies implemented by its member

states. These initiatives address a wide range of issues, including parental leave,
childcare, flexible work arrangements, pay transparency, and non-discrimination

legislation.

Moving forward, the DGHR intends to host additional webinars on several development

and economic topics in close collaboration with the OECD.
