Women in automotive and developing future leaders
Just under a quarter of employees in Europe's automotive sector are women. Yet, as our experience within Bridgestone shows, when female talent is empowered, it makes a real difference to our business.
In this episode, our host, Ginny Buckley, Founder of Electrifying.com, spoke to:
Melinda Topolcsik, Plant Manager, President & Managing Director at Bridgestone’s factory in Hungary, An Vergauwen, HR Business Partner Sales and Marketing for Bridgestone in Europe, and Kim Dorr, Centre Manager for In Town Automotive, one of Bridgestone’s First Stop retail network partners in the UK.
They talk about how to attract the absolute best female talent to the automotive industry, and ways in which to support and grow women into the leaders of tomorrow.
