The workshop has been designed to provide participants with practical knowledge and strategies for promoting gender inclusivity across workplaces.

His qualifications include an Advanced Diploma in Participatory Communication from Ohio University in the United States and an Advanced Diploma in Leadership Skills from Coghill and Berry in London, reflecting his international academic and professional exposure.
NIBAF Pakistan stated that the workshop aims to help participants better understand the principles of workplace inclusivity while strengthening leadership capabilities related to diversity and organizational culture. Participants will gain practical insights into creating respectful workplaces, improving collaboration among teams, and aligning organizational practices with internationally recognized inclusion and sustainability principles. The program is expected to benefit professionals responsible for leadership, human resources, learning and development, and organizational management.
The one day workshop will run from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with a training investment of PKR 20,000 plus applicable tax per participant.
