In this episode, I absolutely loved my deep and meaningful conversation with one my favourite people, Gareth Whalley exploring his 20 year career journey working across some of the world’s largest brands including Coca Cola and Levi Strauss heading up DEI and other huge transformative HR Projects. Gareth is a true difference maker and is now Founder and CEO of Big Bang People Solutions.
We talk about:
🫶 Squiggly careers and how fulfilling it can be not knowing what you want to be when you grow up!
🫶 Gareth's proudest achievements including introducing new Growth Behaviours at Coca Cola, the legacy of the initiatives he’s worked on and seeing the impact of these years later!
🫶 The introduction of the WelcoME platform at Levi’s designed to provide support and assistance to individuals with disabilities – and how many pairs of Levi’s Gareth has!
🫶 We talk about culture and hope in the workplace and in life
🫶 We talk about the current trends in DEI on the global stage and the pullback by organisations and what this might mean
🫶 And it wouldn’t be the Culture Whisper podcast without asking what Gareth’s fave song is to get him dancing around the kitchen – warning contains a ‘bleeped out word’🤣
