In this episode of Columbia Bizcast, Donna Morris, Chief People Officer at Walmart, joins Stephan Meier, the James P. Gorman Professor of Business at Columbia Business School, to discuss how Walmart is building a resilient, tech-powered, and people-led workplace.
From AI tools like “My Assistant” to real-time language translation and strategic upskilling, Morris shares how the retail giant is using innovation to reshape roles, empower employees, and navigate the evolving world of work.
“We are absolutely a digital company at Walmart. We frame ourselves as people-led, tech-powered,” Morris said during the conversation, hosted by CBS’s Distinguished Speaker Series.
Morris offered business leaders insight from her experience managing a workforce of more than 2 million Walmart associates globally, and building a workplace culture that empowers employees and unlocks their potential through the implementation of digital tools.
