Hello Bright Minds, my guest today is Sarah Banks from Arcadis, the global design and engineering company.
Sarah has two little children and was promoted after both of her maternity leaves.
We have a wide-ranging conversation including:
- Challenges and benefits of after work socialising.
- KIT days.
- Being the main earner in her family.
- Being surprised by feeling a drop in confidence.
- Worrying about not being able to do her job when she came back.
- The shadow board that Arcadis has put in place in the Places part of the business to bridge the generational gap between employees and the leadership team and avoid groupthink.
