Equality in the Workplace: A Reality?
IMPACT brings together policy experts, community activists and political representatives to explore the question of equality in today’s Irish workplace. How far have we come in terms of workplace equality? What improvements are still necessary? We also look at how and why inequality can be a hidden problem within the workforce.

Speakers include:
- Laura Harmon, Women in Leadership officer with the National Women’s Council of Ireland (NWCI)
