“Many of these companies already have communication plans in place, so they can respond quickly to issues like these.”is the director of corporate engagement at Planned Parenthood. She said in an email that “Many companies have already committed to diversity, equity and inclusion targets. Yet in refusing to address abortion bans, these companies are willing to risk nearly 50 years of reproductive rights, gains in gender equity and workforce diversity.
“If you don’t take control of the information that’s being communicated from your company, then there’s a good chance someone else will fill that information gap and shine the spotlight on your company when you might not be ready,” she said.“Business leaders today need to remember their companies are part of a political and cultural debate, and they are expected to weigh in on this issue and others more often than they were previously,” Bevins said.
“The ways in which company leaders respond will influence and continue to set examples for other businesses, regardless of industry. While company leaders might not want to respond, their employees, stakeholders, and even other companies see it as more and more necessary,” she added.
“This is a time when clear, transparent communication, consistent with your company’s core values, will help you and your company navigate this controversial issue,” she concluded.
