The Azerbaijan Trade Unions Confederation (ATUC) and the Republican Union of Azerbaijan State Institutions and Public Service Workers Trade Unions, in partnership with the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), launched an important awareness program in Baku focusing on "Managing Gender Equality in the Workplace."
The main objective of this event, which brought together representatives of various state institutions, was to introduce managers and executives to the newly emerging global challenges within the gender spectrum of the modern labor market. In addition, the development of managers' skills to correctly analyze different situations and produce proactive solutions in the daily working environment was brought to the forefront.
During the sessions moderated by Pervana Mammadova, a well-known expert in the field of gender issues, interactive lectures were organized on building an equality model in the corporate environment, inclusive team management, and neutralizing any imbalances.
In the practical part of the training, the participants conducted an in-depth analysis of hybrid working models brought by the era of digital transformation, mechanisms for maintaining work-life balance, and factors leading to inequality. Divided into teams, public servants performed case studies based on real corporate scenarios and developed effective strategic management plans against potential crises and risk situations. These innovative management solutions presented by the groups were highly evaluated by the expert panel.
In the final stage of the training program, the main theses and the future roadmap regarding inclusive leadership qualities, building gender-sensitive internal communication channels, and establishing a psychologically safe working environment were presented to the participants.
As an organization, we are determined to ensure the sustainability of such projects of international and regional importance, which enhance the legal and social well-being of our employees and strengthen the environment of equality in the workplace.
