In this special International Women’s Day episode of The Downer Difference, we sit down with Emma Gamblin, Chair of EmpowHer - Downer’s first enterprise-wide employee network supporting women across the business.

Creating an inclusive workplace isn’t just the right thing to do, it drives better outcomes for our people, customers, and communities. In this conversation, Emma shares her insights on what it takes to build an organisation where women want to work, thrive, and stay, and how each of us, regardless of gender, can contribute to a more inclusive future.

In this episode, we explore:

✔️ The role of EmpowHer in supporting women across Downer

✔️ How male allies can actively support women in a traditionally male-dominated industry

✔️ Reverse discrimination - myths vs. reality

✔️ How to create a workplace where women thrive and feel valued

✔️ The importance of vulnerability, kindness, and bringing your whole self to work

✔️ Mentorship and advocacy and how leaders at every level can make a difference

This is a must-listen for anyone passionate about diversity, inclusion, and building a workplace where everyone’s voice is heard, and talent can shine at full volume.
