"Before the pandemic, before the economic crisis, we already had too many people that were isolated and outside the financial system… As businesses, the first thing we can do is make sure our own employees have a sense of financial security. We should measure that. We should control that completely. That will make a big difference.” So says Dan Schulman, President and CEO of PayPal, in this interview with Dr. Lori Esposito Murray, President of the Committee for Economic Development, the public policy center of The Conference Board (CED).
The CED discussion series, Leadership in Challenging Times, interviews business leaders about the unprecedented challenges facing the nation and how they are helping chart a path forward for both their companies and communities in which they operate. Listen as Schulman tells Dr. Murray about PayPal’s decision to prioritize the financial wellbeing of employees, why profit and purpose intersect, the role of CEOs in the public square, and more.
