Set the Standard with Shannen Brown

Standards Australia: Set the Standard

Paving the way - the role of standards in facilitating recycled content in roads

Welcome to another episode of the Set the Standard podcast! Today, we have the privilege of hosting three formidable leaders: Tracey Gramlick, Chair of the Board at Standards Australia, Dr. Marlene Kanga AO, Director of the Board at Standards Australia, and Emma Harrington, CEO of Standards Australia.

In this episode, we dive into the inspiring personal journeys of our guests, uncovering the challenges they’ve faced, the role models who have shaped their paths, and their invaluable advice for women navigating their careers. We’ll also explore their vision for a world where women can excel without the pressure of being trailblazers and discuss the outdated notion that for women work and life are not compatible.

The episode intends to shed a light on the pressing gender inclusivity challenges faced by various industries, the support needed to advance gender diversity and empower organisations and industry to create a more inclusive environment.

We highlight the critical role of women in Standards Development, the necessity of gender-responsive standards, the vital importance of women’s participation, and the proactive initiatives Standards Australia is implementing to ensure all voices are heard throughout the standards development process and beyond.

Our discussion aims to, not only engage, but inspire listeners with thought provoking insights and encourage active participation in standards development, fostering a community that is representative of all genders.
