Developing Your Career

One of our initiatives within the Sigma Diversity and Inclusion plan involves a more structured program to support developing the capability of female leaders at Sigma. The Women in Leadership Program includes participation in a masterclass with women from other organisations, and group coaching sessions with the Sigma cohort where the learnings and actions from the masterclass are reinforced and experiences are shared.
