#173 Greg Morley: Can “Bond” Save Us From an $8.9 Trillion Employee Meltdown? – Part One

Greg Morley has helped shape workplace culture at some of the world’s biggest brands, and now he’s here to tell us what’s broken—and how to fix it. In Part 1, he unpacks why belonging isn’t just about good vibes, why Bond is the workplace revolution your company needs, and how ditching outdated DEI efforts can actually drive results. If you think engagement is just another HR buzzword, Greg’s about to change your mind. Key Highlights of Our Interview: The Inspiration Behind the Book “The idea for my first book, Bond , came from a friend’s suggestion that I had an obligation to share my experiences. That idea sparked a journey to explore what it takes for any organization to create a true sense of belonging.” Cutting Through the Noise “In a world polarized by amplified voices on the extremes—whether labeled woke or anti-woke—my focus is on the middle ground. Most people want to feel safe, heard, and valued at work, free from political distractions.” A Sandwich Approach to DEI “Balancing a top-down strategy with grassroots alignment ensures each Maison retains its uniqueness while embracing broader organizational values to drive meaningful DEI outcomes.” Facing the First Challenge: Self-Awareness “The journey began with unconscious bias training for all employees, helping them recognize unintentional biases shaped by upbringing or experience. This laid the groundwork for open, honest conversations about diversity and inclusion.” Leadership Advocacy is Key “There’s nothing more powerful than a CEO advocating for DEI consistently. A strong top-down message, combined with grassroots energy, creates the momentum needed for real change.” _________________________ Connect with us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Greg Morley -- Chief Change Officer -- Change Ambitiously.
