International Women's Day - Inspire Inclusion

The IWD 2024 campaign theme is Inspire Inclusion. When we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, we forge a better world. And when women themselves are inspired to be included, there's a sense of belonging, relevance and empowerment.
 
Marie Duffy, VS Director Haleon Winners of the Best Business in Waterford 2023,   will speak about the importance  of senior roles for women, and women in the workplace and how Haleon offers equity and women supporting.
