Making your voice heard...in your workplaceMaking your voice heard in the workplace can be very difficult. After all, a power situation is present, with economic livelihood at stake. However, employers and employees both benefit if good communication is present.

Women@Work regularly offers workshops on many of the skills needed to be effective in meetings, such as presenting yourself, recognising power at work and negotiation skills.
