Under Schwab's oversight of the forum, "an atmosphere hostile to women and black people" in the workplace was "allowed to fester," the media outlet said, quoting internal complaints, email exchanges and interviews with staff members and people aware of the practices.
At least six female employees were reportedly sacked or saw their career paths negatively affected after getting pregnant or returning from maternity leave, while another half dozen were allegedly sexually harassed by senior managers, some of whom still remain at the organization. Two women told the outlet that they were sexually harassed years ago by VIP guests at forum gatherings.
Forum managers used the N-word around black employees, according to internal complaints obtained by the journal. Black people had been reportedly passed over for promotions or "left out of Davos."
Schwab had reportedly attempted to introduce an age limit for staff members, people familiar with the issue said, adding that the former executive "singled out a group of employees over 50 years old and instructed his human resources chief to get rid of them all."
Three female staff members, who used to work closely with Schwab, said that he made suggestive comments to them that made them uncomfortable over the course of several decades. Several other co-workers confirmed the allegations.
