The Business Women's Network (BWN) is holding a mini-workshop on gender work, based on numerous studies in recent months on the impact of epidemic challenges on women's equality.

These and similar questions are sought in his presentation by Katona Fanni, the British American Tobacco Z generation HR. (2020. 05. 29.)

They and their aides are preparing for the so-called "safe work". "Experience Diary", which is a tool used in different areas of special education and is usually prepared by the parent on the basis of shared experiences.
