Women in Energy Sector (WIES) founded in 2016, is a voluntary group of professionals working together in the energy sector for encouraging involvement of both women and men at all levels of leadership to promote diversity, inclusion & equality at work place.  

 

WIES is back again with its 8th edition. The event aims to provide the stage for a dynamic dialogue on the challenges and barriers, the lessons learnt, and the success stories of women leaders in the energy sector.

                                                        

There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Each employer needs to analyze its own unique circumstances with respect to gender representation, the current state of its workforce dynamics and the most important drivers of change in order to craft the most effective strategy.
