Hilton has its Travel with Purpose Week. As Sara Morales, SVP of people and communities at Cisco, put it during our webinar: \u201cDoing good for the world is doing good for business. It drives performance, engagement, and has an incredible impact outside of Cisco.\u201d As a side benefit, it\u2019s a compelling reason for remote workers to meet each other in real life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Build trust across cultures.<\/strong>\u00a0 Trade patterns and alliances may shift but great companies understand the importance of rotating across geographies to develop talent for leadership roles. At an individual level, they create space for people to embrace their own culture. It also means creating what Morales called \u201ca path for everyone to participate in the AI economy.\u201d And at a macro level, programs like Hilton\u2019s \u201ccrisis concierge\u201d reinforce the message that the company cares. \u201cIt all starts with leadership,\u201d said Bush. \u201cYou can\u2019t lead a great company and build high trust if you don\u2019t care about people first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Check out the 100 companies that made our Europe list <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/europe\/ranking\/best-companies-europe\/2025\/\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/fortune.com\/europe\/ranking\/best-companies-europe\/2025\/\" class=\"sc-5ad7098d-0 lcJVdL\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Contact CEO Daily via Diane Brady at <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2025\/10\/17\/secrets-and-rituals-behind-the-100-best-companies-to-work-for-in-europe\/mailto:diane.brady@fortune.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to mailto:diane.brady@fortune.com\" class=\"sc-5ad7098d-0 lcJVdL\">diane.brady@fortune.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Top news<\/h3>\n<p><b>John Bolton indicted<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">John Bolton, the former national security adviser to President Trump in his first term, was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2025\/10\/16\/john-bolton-trump-national-security-adviser-indicted-justice-department\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2025\/10\/16\/john-bolton-trump-national-security-adviser-indicted-justice-department\" class=\"sc-5ad7098d-0 lcJVdL\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">indicted by a federal grand jury<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> on eight counts of mishandling classified documents.
