programs more compatible with the national goals,” Al-Falasi added.

of the UAE’s initiatives to advance gender balance and highlighted its impact on various workforce policies
and regulations. The webinar also featured a series of panel discussions that delved into topics such as

equal pay, non-discrimination, and career advancement opportunities.

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.

in close collaboration with the OECD.
