Here are specific actions that companies can take to make a difference to battle social injustices.
Since the police killing of George Floyd, companies across all industries have made statements to express support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Though all contained some semblance of support and were written to ensure audiences of righteous beliefs, many lacked accompanying actions to illustrate genuine intent for change.
1. Acknowledge that there is a problem. Leaders can no longer accept the ‘perfectly logical explanations’ as to why the Black community has not been able to overcome the inequalities that exist both in society and business. 4. Commit to change, beyond the current crisis. The true test of the leader and the organization’s commitment to change, are the actions, processes and procedures that are sustainable and visible long after it’s no longer the top news story.
“Right now is a time where employers need to, first and foremost, focus inward — truly listen to employees and make sure employees feel cared for and supported. Communicate early and often — acknowledge what is going on and be as authentic and transparent as possible with your people. Robert Foehl, executive in residence for business law and ethics at Ohio University’s online Masters of Business Administration program
