What does it really mean to belong at work? In this episode of the HR L&D Podcast, Nick Day sits down with Greg Morley — global HR leader, former Head of DEI at Moët Hennessy, and author of BOND: Belonging and the Keys to Inclusion and Connection.

Greg shares powerful insights from his 20+ year career at Disney, Hasbro, and LVMH, where he led multicultural teams across the US, Europe, and Asia. Together, Nick and Greg explore:

  • Why belonging is the foundation of inclusion and employee engagement
  • How leaders can build psychological safety and connection in diverse workplaces
  • The challenges of driving global DEI initiatives across regions and cultures
  • Practical steps HR professionals can take to embed inclusion into daily practices
  • Why belonging is the future of work — and how it impacts retention, innovation, and growth

Whether you’re an HR leader, people manager, or business owner, this conversation will help you understand why belonging matters and how you can create a workplace where everyone feels valued and connected.
