Bravo Marriott! [View all]

Marriott’s CEO spoke out about DEI. The next day, he had 40,000 emails from his associates

Capuano’s message was simple, but it didn’t go unnoticed by associates. He was overwhelmed by how his employees responded.

“Within 24 hours, I had 40,000 emails from Marriott associates around the world, saying ‘thank you,’” he said. Many expressed appreciation to work for a company whose values aligned with their own.

Marriott is among Fortune’s Best Companies to Work For that are sticking up for DEI policies right now. Others on the list include Delta and Cisco.
