Bin Khatam also highlighted the significance of webinars as influential platforms for 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 how DGHR's webinars
have the potential to accelerate the adoption of best practices and 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. Furthermore, she assertedthat these sessions

provide an opportunity to share 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.
