Not only is it International Women’s Day, but it’s the week when the Minister for Women, Katy Gallagher, will release Australia’s first-ever gender equality strategy.

And, yes, some of them were big!
This week in Talent: personal reflections on shifting to a part-time Talent role, the WGEA publishes gender pay gaps for 100+ companies, a potential "bye-bye" to the right to work from home, the employers with the biggest and smallest gender paygaps, Microsoft's New Future of Work report, how one Aussie work-site increased its female workforce x5, and more!
