Marriott's CHRO on Tech, Humanity, and Building a Future-Ready Workforce

About This Episode

<p>What does it take to lead 800,000 employees across nearly 10,000 hotels into the future of work? In this episode of Future Ready Leadership, I speak with Ty Breland, CHRO of Marriott International, about how the company is building a workforce strategy that is tech-enabled but human-centered. Ty explains why technology should automate tasks but create more space for authentic human connection, how Marriott is using AI and workforce analytics to inform smarter decisions, and why wellbeing must now include financial and mental resilience alongside physical health. We also explore why leaders need to shift from annual surveys to real-time listening if they want employees to feel genuinely heard, how Marriott develops leaders from the frontline to the executive suite, and why Ty reframes change management as "change acceleration," built on alignment, healthy debate, and agility.</p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">________________</p> <p dir="ltr">Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.
