The final list recognises BM employees from across the business, with winners ranging from operations professionals and chefs to marketing, sales and coffee specialists. In total more than 30 people were celebrated across the business.
Everyone in BM is invited to nominate a colleague at any level for an award. Nominations are then shortlisted by the executive board and head of people and talent, with each winner receiving a signed certificate, as well as being publicly recognised through a series of celebratory posts on BM’s internal communications app.
Team members may not just be recognised for the work that they do, although this counts towards their nomination, but because they inspire others in the way they live, work and interact with people – both at work and outside of work. This may include charity work, pursuing development and education opportunities, recognition from clients and customers, or powering through difficult circumstances.
Murray Soper, BM’s team and talent manager said: “Equality, diversity, inclusion and belonging are key to our people focus.
“In recognition that there are people who do not identify with the gender binary, we felt the time was right to move away from separately celebrating ‘Inspiring Men’ and ‘Inspiring Women’. We have many people in our workplace who inspire those around them, and we wanted to celebrate them and recognise the part they play in making BM a great place to be.”
