Marriott’s CEO Spoke Out About “Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion (DEI).” The Next Day, He Had 40,000 E-Mails From His Associates

Marriott International Has One of The Largest—And Happiest—Workforces In The World.

— Ashley Lutz | Friday April 18, 2025

Marriott CEO Anthony Capuano, Fortune! Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images

The company boasts more than 800,000 associates at its hotels and resorts around the world. Notably, it has a strong culture, ranking No. 8 on Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For list in 2025. An impressive 90% of Marriott employees endorse the company, compared with a 57% average.

Much of the company’s success is driven by trust in leadership—including former chairman Bill Marriott, current chairman David S. Marriott, and CEO Anthony Capuano.

In an interview at the Great Place to Work For All Summit in Las Vegas with the organization’s CEO, Michael Bush, Capuano spoke about a recent crossroads—and how he responded.

The leadership event hosted thousands of executives from more than 800 companies—and many are featured on the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For list.

While Marriott leaders have publicly said that they aspire to be a leader in the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) space in recent years, President Donald Trump’s executive orders and policies against the initiatives threw their plans into uncertainty.

The new policies could lead to changes in hiring, promotions, and training. Failure to comply could lead to cuts in federal funding to these private sector companies, although the legality of these changes is still being debated.

Marriott’s CEO Speaks Out

After Trump announced sweeping changes to DEI in January, many executives and companies were left reeling.

Capuano says he met with his executive leadership team in Bethesda, Md., where they decided to take a week to research and process before meeting again. The CEO then flew to Los Angeles for the Americas Lodging Investment Summit. While there, he was inundated with questions about Marriott’s approach to DEI in the future.

Rather than stay silent, Capuano recalled many conversations with his mentor and former chairman Bill Marriott, and decided to speak.

“The winds blow, but there are some fundamental truths for those 98 years," Capuano said. “We welcome all to our hotels and we create opportunities for all—and fundamentally those will never change. The words might change, but that’s who we are as a company.”

Capuano says he went back to his hotel that night hoping he had said the right thing.

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.

Subliminal Ageism: The Hidden Discrimination Against People Over 60

Age discrimination, or ageism, is often discussed in explicit terms—such as workplace policies, hiring biases, or unequal healthcare treatment. However, a more insidious and often overlooked form of ageism exists at a subliminal level, subtly shaping how society perceives and treats people over 60. This unconscious bias affects career opportunities, healthcare decisions, media portrayals, and…

Older Women in the Workforce: Common Productivity Challenges and Ways to Overcome

One of the most important assets available to organizations is diversity and inclusivity. It refers to a workforce comprising people of different ethnicities, social and economic backgrounds, and age groups. 

This type of workplace can have several benefits, such as mentorship, adaptation to change, a broader skill base, and increased productivity. The Harvard Business Review offers us a glimpse of the forgotten dimension of diversity. It states that companies hiring with this as their end goal also succeed in retaining employee commitment and satisfaction. 

In this article, we will focus exclusively on older women. This demographic has much to offer to a workplace due to experience and expertise. They can play a key role in training the younger staff, promoting the brand, and providing customers with personal attention. 

However, this group continues to face some serious productivity challenges. Let’s look at what they are and some ways to overcome them. 

Physical Limitations and Issues 

After a certain age, stamina reduces and so does the drive to work. This may have nothing to do with an individual’s passion but their physical health. A woman who is 50 years or older can face a range of health issues, including heart disease and osteoporosis, that may hamper her productivity. 

According to the National Council on Aging (NCOA), a lot of older women face disparities in terms of healthcare access. This will only aggravate the problem. In some cases, there may be no significant health issues involved. Take the example of stress urinary incontinence (SUI), a condition commonly affecting 15.7% of adult women. 

It is the problem of an overactive bladder that may require frequent restroom breaks. This in itself can become a hassle at the workplace. Now, there are some solutions for this problem, but not all are safe as they are effective. 

For instance, a vaginal mesh is often surgically implanted to offer strength and support to the bladder. However, TorHoerman Law states that women have alleged that they suffered severe complications as a result. These include mesh erosion, organ perforation, extreme pain, and infection. 

There is a vaginal mesh lawsuit against the manufacturers filed by over 100,000 injured women. If we keep this solution aside, others like a biological graft repair are available but there are some concerns about their effectiveness. In such cases, one may have to rely on temporary solutions like medications for the time being. 

Women can engage in pelvic floor exercises and bladder training to see better results. However, these take time to have any visible effects. Meanwhile, companies can make provisions by offering older women flexible work schedules. 

Even a hybrid model where they’re allowed to work from home some days of the week is a good option. The policy should be modifiable to ensure older women with a zeal to work are not deprived simply due to health issues out of their control.  

 Stereotypes 

The Conversation published an excellent article addressing the stigma surrounding aging women, especially in the workplace. Shocking as it is, many people, particularly those of the younger generations, consider older women to be anxious and dependent. 

If she is not the CEO, she must surely be wailing in the corner looking to transfer responsibility. Ageism is a real problem in the corporate world and should not be treated as benign. Older women are made to feel diminished, simply for the sake of their age (added over the issue of sexism). 

Companies can put an end to such backward thinking by providing equal work opportunities to young and old women at all organizational levels. Training sessions teaching employees to treat each other with respect must be conducted frequently. Any issues regarding ageism should be dealt with in a serious manner. 

Stereotypes, even if they appear harmless, can take a severe toll on women’s mental health. Over time, productivity gets affected due to stifled creativity, decreased morale, and reduced motivation. 

A Lack of Work-Life Balance 

Having a proper work-life balance is crucial for sustained work enthusiasm. However, many factors can disturb one’s work-life balance, including stress, unrealistic expectations, and workplace conflicts. 

In the case of older women, the previously discussed issues surrounding stereotypes and family obligations can be a major productivity buster. If these women work in service-based organizations where they may have to log in long hours, the issue only escalates. 

When no proper support is available on both sides, the woman may feel trapped, helpless, and lose their enthusiasm for work. There will come a certain point where they may experience chronic burnout. Now, a lack of work-life balance can be a result of family expectations, which is something women must have a serious discussion about. 

However, companies can play a vital positive role in supporting older women by discouraging a culture of overworking. Again, stereotypes should be removed to provide complete autonomy of work. If it is found that a woman is suffering from personal stress, the company can arrange for mental health counseling to help them resolve their issues. 

 The productivity challenges we just discussed are ongoing and will continue as newer generations join the workforce. This is why it is important to lay the groundwork for what diversity and inclusivity truly mean. 

Older women are valuable organizational assets and must not be victims of gendered ageism of any kind. Empathy and compassion go a long way in cherishing them and honoring their year-after-year services.
