To address this, a 3-point framework is proposed focusing on resources, respect, and voice. Specific targets and policies are outlined to promote inclusion, equal opportunities, and reduce inequality outcomes through 2030. Barriers to achieving equality are analyzed, including lack of quality data and surveys in some countries.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.
2. BRIEF OVERVIEW OF BANGLADESH
• Bangladesh is one of the world's most densely populated
countries
• Poverty is deep and widespread, but Bangladesh has in
recent years reduced population growth and improved
health and education.
• Formerly East Pakistan, Bangladesh came into being only
in 1971, when the two parts of Pakistan split after a bitter
war which drew in neighbouring India
3. • Bangladesh spent 15 years under military rule and,
although democracy was restored in 1990, the
political scene remains volatile.
• Bangladesh is a middle power and a developing
nation. Listed as one of the Next Eleven, its economy
ranks 43rd in terms of nominal gross domestic
product and 29th in terms of purchasing power parity.
• It is one of the largest textile exporters in the world. Its
major trading partners are the European Union, the
United States, China, India, Japan, Malaysia and
Singapore.
5. Political environment in Bangladesh
• Politics of Bangladesh takes place in a framework of a
parliamentary representative democratic republic,
whereby the Prime Minister of Bangladesh is the head of
government, and of a multi-party system.
• Executive power is exercised by the government.
Legislative power is vested in both the government and
parliament. The Constitution of Bangladesh was written
in 1972 and has undergone sixteen amendments.
6. • The three major parties in Bangladesh are the
Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and Bangladesh
Awami League and Jatiya Party.
• BNP finds its allies among some Islamist parties like
Jamaat- e-Islami Bangladesh while the Awami League
aligns itself traditionally with leftist and secularist
parties.
• Student politics is particularly strong in Bangladesh, a
legacy from the liberation movement era.
7. • Bangladesh has made significant progress toward a more
prosperous and pluralistic society since its independence
in 1971. Bangladesh’s economy has grown at 6 percent
annually for more than two decades.
• The United States remains actively engaged in efforts to
strengthen respect for labor rights and improve
workplace safety. Despite significant development
achievements, poverty remains a challenge as do
infrastructure shortcomings, weak governance structures,
and the need for greater investment in human capital.
• Extremist violence also presents a common challenge.
The United States stands shoulder- to-shoulder with
Bangladesh in our effort to defeat extremism.
8. Economic Environment of Bangladesh
• The economy of Bangladesh has experienced a stable
growth since 1980. Over the past two decades, the
country has recorded an annual average growth rate of
6% of GDP and has reduced the poverty rate by half
• in 2016, 24,8% of the population was considered under
the poverty line, compared to 48,1% in 2000.
• Growth amounted to 7% in 2017 supported by
remittances from nearly 7,5 million Bangladeshi living
abroad (USD 12.85 billion in 2017), garment exports,
increased wages and low inflation.
9. • Bangladesh also suffers from other challenges:
frequent social strikes, terrorist threats, poor-quality
infrastructure, an under- performing financial system,
public sector inefficiency, inadequate exploitation of
the country's natural resources, limited availability of
capital and population growth (even though it has
slowed down considerably in recent years).
• Bangladesh remains a poor, overpopulated country.
The elimination of poverty is a priority: it represents
almost half of budget expenditure.
10. Social Environment of Bangladesh
• Bangladesh is noted for the remarkable ethnic and
cultural homogeneity of its population.
• Over 98 percent of its people are Bengalis; the remainder
are Biharis, or non-Bengali Muslims, and indigenous tribal
peoples.
• Bangladeshis are particularly proud of their rich cultural
and linguistic heritage because their independent nation is
partially the result of a powerful movement to uphold and
preserve their language and culture. Bangladeshis identify
themselves closely with Bangla, their national language.
11. • One of the world's most densely populated nations,
Bangladesh in the 1980s was caught in the vicious
cycle of population expansion and poverty. Although
the rate of growth had declined marginally in recent
years, the rapid expansion of the population
continued to be a tremendous burden on the nation.
• Frequent natural disasters, such as coastal cyclones
and floods, killed thousands, and widespread
malnutrition and poor sanitation resulted in high
mortality rates from a variety of diseases.
12. Technological Environment
• Dhaka is emerging as a freelance IT and IT-enabled services
outsourcing (ITES) centre and the ICT sector in Bangladesh is poised
for continued expansion.
• According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU, the
number of internet users has nearly tripled from 6.5 percent of the
population in 2013 to 18.2 percent in 2016 and continues to grow.
• According to the Bangladesh Association of Software and
Information Services (BASIS), around 1500+ software and IT- related
companies have registered in Bangladesh. The size of the ICT
market, excluding telecommunications, is estimated to be worth
$600 million and approximately 250,000 professionals are now
employed in the sector
13. • Leading sub-sectors - ICT Infrastructure and
Equipment, including telecommunications towers and
related infrastructure; Data Centres and related
equipment and services.
• Opportunities - Mobile Applications; Data and Content
Development; Online Healthcare and Government
Services Solutions; E-commerce Applications and
Solutions.
14. Legal environment
• Bangladesh's legal system is based on common law, and
its principal source of laws are acts of Parliament.
• The Supreme Court of Bangladesh, including its High
Court and Appellate Divisions, is the high court of the
land. The head of the judiciary is the Chief Justice of
Bangladesh, who sits on the Supreme Court.
• Due to a shortage of judges, the judiciary has a large
backlog. The Bangladesh Judicial Service Commission is
an independent body responsible for judicial
appointments, salaries and discipline.
15. International environment in Bangladesh -
• The foreign relations share the Bangladeshi government's
policies in its external relations with the international
community. The country pursues a moderate foreign
policy that places heavy reliance on multinational
diplomacy, especially at the United Nations and World
Trade Organization (WTO).
• Since independence in 1971, the country has stressed its
principle of "Friendship towards all, malice towards none"
in dictating its diplomacy.
16. • As a member of the Non-Aligned Movement, Bangladesh has
tended to not take sides with major powers. Since the end of the
Cold War, the country has pursued better relations with regional
neighbours.
• Bangladesh was admitted to the United Nations in 1974 and was
elected to a Security Council term in 1978–1980 and again for a
2000–02 term.
• In recent years, the relations with Russia also became influential
because of the Russian loan and technical assistance on military
modernisation and the first ever nuclear power plant project of
Bangladesh.
• The bilateral relations of Bangladesh are mainly based on trade
activities. However, with certain countries, the relations expand to
other areas such as military co-operation, cultural exchange etc.
17. Environmental Environment in Bangladesh
• Current Bangladesh administration seems to be reluctant
about environmental protection but still there are laws in place
in Bangladesh against any attempt to pollute the environment
in unnecessary way.
• The effect of increased human and animal population, as well
as land use in the Himalayan Mountains, have caused soil
erosion, which could have resulted in the extra deposition of
sediments in the Bangladesh watersheds.
• Improper watershed management does lead to sedimentation
in reservoirs and changing patterns of stream flow.
18. • It is not good time for renewable market because of
decelerated growth. Furthermore, from global
perspective fossil fuel market is not good either. As a
result, one must stay away from energy business in
Bangladesh for time being.
• But environment is everyone’s responsibility and
organization which has to stay must make sure that
environment is protected and efforts must be done to
reduce carbon footprint of business.
20. Strategy
• For current government improvement in labor force
seems to be priority. current administration which they
want to use to perform reduction in unemployment rates
and according to economic indicators it seems that
strategy is working.
• Bangladesh feds want to improve growth of economy
which is still lagging behind.
21. Context
• Bangladesh service sector is not so good but current
government want to strengthen secondary industry to
help labor force. Bangladesh have labour resources in
sufficient quantities to help in that purpose.
• Recent budget cuts indicate a decrease in spending
which are not useful to Bangladesh citizens directly.
• Regulatory framework is should be well placed in
Bangladesh. Non-formal rules like being aware that racial
discrimination should not be there in workplace and
employee grievances must be addressed are important.
22. Performance
• Bangladesh even has a lower population growth rate than
Pakistan. So, the per capita income of an average
Bangladeshi is growing at an even faster rate.
• It was its seventh year in a row that its GDP growth had
exceeded 6 percent.
• It is the second largest exporter of textile, and because of
a well established textile industry labour force is utilised.
• The new administration is successful in reducing
unemployment and improving situation of labours.
24. • Bangladesh is actively adapting to present problems by
building protection works and changing agricultural practices.
However, much more needs to be done to cope with future
challenges.
• Social environment makes availability of talented and healthy
workforce feasible. Political environment of Bangladesh is little
chaotic at the moment but it would be wrong to call it unstable
because there are no chances of sudden power change. Legal
environment of country is cumbersome for businesses due to
more regulations but other factors
• Legality of lobbying ease up the difficulty associated with legal
environment. Due to policies of current administration sadly
environmental business environment is not so good and is
chaotic.
