Inspired Matters - #4 - Margot van Soest, Director of Engagement & Development at SThree

'I sometimes feel like the grandmother of the company,' said Margot van Soest with a wink. It shows not only how young and fast-growing SThree is but also indicates the wisdom from which she taps. At the Zuidas in Amsterdam, Paul Smilde and I spoke with Margot about the wishes and demands of millennials, people-oriented work in an Anglosaxon culture and what Margot understands by a paradisiacal work environment.

Listen and be inspired. Enjoy this Soulful Business!
