About this listen

A special VMJPod series – live from ATC 2025! We sit down with industry leaders to go beyond the buzz and discuss what AI really means for talent teams.

Series co-hosted by VideoMy Founder and CEO, David Maccioca and TaPod's Craig Watson.
_______

We chat with Karly George from BHP on day two of the ATC to discuss a significant achievement: BHP reaching gender balance across their entire organisation in May this year.

Karly reflects on how gender balance has fundamentally transformed BHP's culture, where Karly once would have been the only woman walking on a facility floor, today's BHP looks completely different. The principle she shares is simple but powerful: "If you can't see it, you can't be it." When people can see themselves represented, whether in the dining room of a remote camp or in leadership position, they feel welcome, happy, and do their best work.

Beyond gender parity, KArly discusses BHP's cautious but deliberate approach to AI adoption, including their use of Paradox for interview scheduling to enhance candidate experience. She challenges the perception of BHP as a slow-moving ship, revealing an organisation that's rapidly pivoting toward commercial technology and optimisation. No longer just a miner, but a forward-thinking enterprise embracing the future.
