Women are still underrepresented in senior decision-making positions in the public service in most countries (though, encouraging progress from a decade ago).

Diversity can be sort of like a cake: all of the different ingredients are what make it so fantastic, but a great baker knows what to do with them.
Diversity isn’t the magic bullet. You need inclusive leadership. Insights from Alana Baker, Policy Analyst, Public Employment and Management Directorate for Public Governance, OECD. #YouCount
My Twitter Blue anxiety is that my silly little checkmark WON’T disappear tomorrow, leading to a new, worse, problem: people will *think* I paid for it.
Many thanks to IIAS for having me speak in this great opening session at #iias2023.
It also gave me a chance to present some new @OECDgov data on civil service leadership & skills development (to be published soon in the Public Employment & Management 2023 report).

WHY is @Google Translate default *still* masculine 1st person?
Instead I:
-Manually change after (many errors, j’apprends mais c'est compliqué)
-Write “female” in *every* sentence to force it (forget to delete “femme” from output & sound insane).
-Still get called Alan on the reg

Current status: Watching the employees of the African and South Asian embassies across from my office window gleefully lose their minds in the Paris snowfall. Video calling people to show it coming down. It's delightful.

This journalism supports all journalism, including private markets (unequivocally, also staffed by amazing and dedicated journalists), by creating a standard of integrity from which others are also tethered. It protects the industry as a whole from influence. 4/5
