In this episode of Diversity: Beyond the Checkbox, Greg Morley, global HR and inclusion leader and author of Bond: Belonging and the Keys to Inclusion and Connection, shares how belonging isn’t just a feel-good concept—it’s a leadership imperative. Greg’s career journey from warehouse worker to executive at companies like Disney and LVMH has given him a rare, grounded perspective on what it truly takes to create workplaces where people feel seen, valued, and empowered.

Through personal stories and hard-earned lessons—from cross-cultural leadership in Hong Kong to building trust one conversation at a time—Greg reveals why emotional intelligence, vulnerability, and standing in others’ shoes are at the heart of effective DEI work. He also challenges leaders to move beyond fear, foster inclusive environments, and recognize that belonging is the ultimate competitive advantage.
