<v ->Businesses are critical to supporting the world</v>

2
00:00:03.190 --> 00:00:04.980
and responding to global crises.

3
00:00:04.980 --> 00:00:07.190
It doesn't matter which crisis we're dealing with,

4
00:00:07.190 --> 00:00:09.520
the conflict that we're dealing with in the world,

5
00:00:09.520 --> 00:00:12.670
the climate crisis, or the COVID crisis.

6
00:00:12.670 --> 00:00:15.180
When we talk about the humanitarian crisis

7
00:00:15.180 --> 00:00:16.650
that the world is grappling with,

8
00:00:16.650 --> 00:00:19.090
especially right now in response to Ukraine,

9
00:00:19.090 --> 00:00:21.830
businesses can do at least three things

10
00:00:21.830 --> 00:00:23.310
that are really important.

11
00:00:23.310 --> 00:00:25.330
Businesses all over the world need talent,

12
00:00:25.330 --> 00:00:27.130
and the refugees from Ukraine

13
00:00:27.130 --> 00:00:29.060
and everywhere else in the world right now

14
00:00:29.060 --> 00:00:31.560
actually need employment, need jobs.

15
00:00:31.560 --> 00:00:33.840
That's the number one role businesses can play.

16
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.380
Number two, businesses need to use their voice.

17
00:00:36.380 --> 00:00:37.898
Speak up for your values.

18
00:00:37.898 --> 00:00:40.550
Let governments around the world and the influencers

19
00:00:40.550 --> 00:00:42.150
know what you stand for.

20
00:00:42.150 --> 00:00:44.130
And third, support your employees.

21
00:00:44.130 --> 00:00:45.400
Employees need empathy,

22
00:00:45.400 --> 00:00:48.270
and they can also use support for the initiatives

23
00:00:48.270 --> 00:00:49.290
that they're driving.

24
00:00:49.290 --> 00:00:52.117
At BCG, two of the many things that we've done

25
00:00:52.117 --> 00:00:53.978
to support the Ukrainian refugees

26
00:00:53.978 --> 00:00:56.540
include our Ukrainian virtual hub

27
00:00:56.540 --> 00:00:58.310
and Unterkunft-Ukraine.

28
00:00:58.310 --> 00:01:01.338
The Ukrainian virtual hub creates job opportunity postings

29
00:01:01.338 --> 00:01:04.655
and easy application for Ukrainian refugees

30
00:01:04.655 --> 00:01:06.714
for jobs within BCG.

31
00:01:06.714 --> 00:01:08.440
We're building a strong pipeline,

32
00:01:08.440 --> 00:01:10.655
and we've already hired Ukrainian refugees.

33
00:01:10.655 --> 00:01:14.680
Unterkunft-Ukraine creates a matching platform

34
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:17.340
so that those who are offering housing to refugees

35
00:01:17.340 --> 00:01:19.060
can be matched with the refugees

36
00:01:19.060 --> 00:01:20.460
that are in need of housing.
