Managing Through Change – A Gender Lens

This Women in Rail Corporate Members only event brings together rail and transport professionals from the sector to explore how organisations can lead through periods of reform, uncertainty and transition viewed through a gender‑informed and inclusive leadership lens.

As the industry navigates significant change, the event will provide space to:

  • Reflect on progress and performance
  • Share practical insight from across the sector
  • Examine how organisational change impacts different groups within the workforce
  • Explore what inclusive leadership looks like in practice during times of transition
