Episode notes
You’ve worked hard to get to where you are. But why haven’t you gone further and achieved more? Is that down to you or maybe the opportunities haven’t been there?
Del and Laura are joined by Gudrun Neumann, BMT's Global People Director, to talk about whether success is just down to hard work and ambition, or is there more to it? Does everyone have the same chance to succeed?
Gudrun shares her personal journey navigating social mobility and we explore the sometimes-hidden challenges of meritocracy. Tune in to find out what all this means for BMT, how should we recognise success and can BMT contribute to building a fairer society?
