The Department of Commerce and industry organised a significant and sensitive 3-day workshop on gender equality and social inclusion in Public Services. The three-day workshop, held from August 6th to 8th, 2024, marked a significant advancement in the public sector’s efforts to promote an inclusive and equitable work environment. This initiative highlights the government’s commitment to providing equal opportunities and resources for everyone, regardless of gender or social background. The Department of Commerce and Industry Secretary David Ganaii highlighted the significance of the GESI policy, led by the Department of Personnel Management (DPM), as a vital commitment to valuing diversity and enabling everyone to reach their full potential. He also expressed his department’s gratitude and enthusiasm for collaborating with DPM through the workshop. The department aims to promote equality within its working environment, where all employees feel respected, supported, and empowered to succeed. The workshop commenced on Tuesday, August 6th, with key representatives from the DPM conducting the GESI sensitization workshop for the Senior Management Committee members of DCI. The workshop gave an opening for participants to engage in expressive discussions and explore practical strategies for implementing the GESI policy. DCI is confident the expertise provided by the DPM representatives will be vital in driving positive change across the public service sector. Participants were actively engaged in the sessions to develop plans for more inclusive workplaces. By the workshop’s end, DCI staff were well-prepared to implement the GESI policy, ensuring public service efficiency and equity for all. The Workshop reflects the broader commitment of the public sector to reflect the diversity of the society it serves. The DCI now is looking forward to the positive changes that will emerge from this important initiative.
