Constructive Feedback From BMW Group Employees

  • What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
    BMW's toxic culture, arrogant leadership, and lack of inclusivity are holding it back. Employees feel undervalued, unheard, and stuck in rigid hierarchies. To improve, leaders must listen, recognize talent, and foster collaboration
