Women’s Development Network (WDN)

The Women’s Development Network is designed to inspire and support women to succeed at nbn. The WDN recognises the need for both men and women to learn from each other and foster personal and professional growth by creating a culture of respect, acceptance and inclusion.

The Network aims to:

  • Raise awareness about different perspectives and approaches that men and women bring to the workplace, and the advantages we gain from these
  • Organise networking events to develop and support each other
  • Provide mentoring opportunities to develop understanding and assist in career progression
  • Recognise and profile our champions of women
  • Celebrate events such as International Women's Day

The network is inclusive of both men and women, and men at nbn are encouraged to join the network.
