Nearly 7 in 10 employees believe that societal impact is a strong expectation or deal breaker when considering a job, according to the 2022 Edelman Trust Barometer. Furthermore, job-seekers are more likely to work for companies that publicly support societal issues. There is so much happening in our world, and there is increasing pressure for organizations to have a voice and take a stance on societal and policy concerns. Often the issues can be so polarizing, it feels like a “no win” situation for leaders.
As an organization, have you determined a framework or philosophy to guide your communication or response in these complex conditions? When do you “make a statement” – and what might you say? What stakeholders do you consider and prioritize when making these decisions? Let’s tackle these difficult but important questions in a facilitative strategy session. Create your framework now so you are ready to go when you need it.
Participants leave this program with the ability to:
Embrace a framework or philosophy that guides decision-making moving forward
Recognize and intentionally choose the level of involvement
Understand the issue, identify key stakeholders, and emphasize organizational values
Practice working through an issue, crafting a response (or not!), and determining next steps
