Workplace equity communications made easier
One of the questions we hear most from organizations is, "How do we communicate with key stakeholders about our workplace equity status and strategy?" It's one of the biggest challenges faced by communications leaders today — and in a world where a commitment to workplace equity influences brand reputation, investment analyses, career decisions, and consumer purchasing choices, it's vitally important to get your communications right.
Add to that the fact that you must communicate to varied audiences including leadership, managers, employees, job seekers, investors, shareholders, and even consumers, and it's no surprise that many organizations are looking for help. Below, we've rounded up resources to help you plan and execute your workplace equity communications strategy.
The worst thing an organization can do is make empty promises around equity. Without being able to demonstrate how equity works and point to specific examples of it in your organization, it's a hollow concept that damages trust and only serves to undercut equity in the end."
