SAP’s McDermott Reassures Staff in Wake of President Trump’s Travel Ban

The annual pay package for SAP CEO Bill McDermott has caused significant controversy with the company’s shareholders.

With a lot of uncertainty surrounding President Donald Trump’s controversial travel ban, SAP CEO Bill McDermott has criticized the move, and is reassuring employees of the software giant’s dedication to their well-being, writes Eric Auchard for Reuters.

Addressing the company’s 84,000 employees across the globe, McDermott emphasized SAP’s non-discrimination policies, adding that “we are always in your corner.”

SAP joins other technology giants – like Apple, Facebook, and Google – in e-mailing employees, denouncing the halting of America’s refugee program and stopping arrivals from seven mostly-Muslim countries.

McDermott described the U.S. as a nation “stitched together by immigrants” and stated his confidence that “America will find its way back to its original identity.”

While SAP reassured its employees, it did so by attempting to avoid offending the current administration, as it generates almost a third of its revenue in the U.S.

Last week, the company raised its business outlook due to the current uncertainties. These could increase sales of its software that helps multinational companies manage overseas operations.
