Dei dominates in conversation among executives

At the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum there are three fashion words among politicians and business leaders this year in Davos, Switzerland: diversity, justice and inclusion.

Not surprisingly, Dei is in the mind of corporate leaders, as it was also in the center and in the White House.

“My administration has taken steps to abolish all discriminatory diversity, justice and nonsense,” said President Donald Trump on Thursday during a virtual appearance in Davos. “America will again become a country based on merit.”

Trump has signed an executive order for his first day as directed to Demanding diversity and federal government programs. The order, as it is written, is extended only to the federal government, but he also mentioned the expansion of his executive order to private institutions in his comments in Davos.

After his executive order, his administration also has Purposeful Positive Actions in Federal Contracts and Ordered all federal dei staff to be put on a paid holiday.

On Earth in Davos Dei was the subject of conversation both on the record and behind closed doors, with discussions, including the potential of ejection of conventional abbreviations and changing external communication around a certain policy.

Most corporate leaders who have been with CNBC within the first four days of the summit reaffirmed that while the language may change and domestic policy may be established, the company’s values ​​will remain the same.

That’s what the executives should say:

“We will continue to turn to the black community and the Hispanic community, the LGBT community and veterans.” Without trying to go on either side or any thing. We have done, and what we did is raise cities, schools, states, hospitals, countries, and we will do the same. “

“For NASDAQ we really continue to look at everything we do, construction of the right culture. We believe the place where we feel that people can be the background, actually makes us a better company and makes us work better. In that However, I believe that there is a submarine that continues to support. “

“People on our platform come from all sections of society, from different backgrounds … We do not (change anything), and the reason we have seen it actually leads to better interaction, there is consumer demand for this , it’s good for our business. “

“I think there is what happened that there is a subsidiary under the Dei brand that was particularly disliked. And I think or to pursue a great opportunity, I want many different brains in this hall, and I don’t care what gender, Either it’s nationality or it’s just a variety of experience.

“I think that diversity is a great thing in business. In fact, it is able to remodel those who do not have a variety of teams in the work they deliver, and in the markets they serve the long -term perspective … And there may be certain laws we need to adjust to it, but people will do correctly. “

“We work in an incredibly competitive and fast moving in the II, and I do not have the opportunity except hiring the best and brilliant and most capable people for every job in my company. So, we have no options besides being meritocratic. We also achieve diversity in this process. “
