#94 Greg Morley: Turning DEI Drama into Workplace Wins โ€“ Part One

So there's that cultural element. Then there's the layered on cultural element of our different maisons and where they're from. We have some maisons that are French, some maisons that are in the US, India, China, around the world. So that puts a different sort of cultural complexity on the work.

When I was talking with you about visiting a Maison, I was visiting specifically the Hennessy Maison. Now Hennessy is the largest Maison we have in Moet Hennessy, and it's the third largest Maison within all of the LVMH group. So it's a huge part of the business and it has an incredibly diverse consumer.

The consumers of Hennessy in China are very different than the consumers of Hennessy in say North America or the UK. So from the perspective of knowing the consumer, we know that Hennessy is a very diverse consumer around the world. When you go back to where it came from, which is Cognac, France, which is in the southwestern part of France, this is not a very diverse part of the world.

It's a relatively small community where people know each other. And even within our facility in Hennessy, oftentimes you have people who have worked in the organization for many decades. And maybe their parents worked in that same role they have, and maybe their grandparents worked in that role.

So diversity in Cognac, France, looks very different than what we would say of diversity in, say, Hong Kong or New York or London or Paris. So why this, you know, kind of sandwich approach is important to the success of any diversity and inclusion initiative or strategy is that there needs to be some strategic orientation.

What does representative organization look like in Konya? Or what does representative organization look like in Tokyo? What does representative organization look like in Kuala Lumpur? It looks different, right? We're not talking about the same demographic and the same representation in all of those places, yet we are talking about being diverse and close to the consumer.

that we're not taking part of this discussion. Back to my recent visit to Cognac, they're doing some amazing work on the cognitive diversity element. They're doing some great work on bringing different ability individuals from the community to work in the facility there.
