The USC Center for PR’s 2023 Relevance Report found that 47% of consumers believe corporations should get involved with social issues by focusing on internal policies and issues. But what does that look like in action?
In this episode, we talk with communication leaders spearheading various corporate social engagement efforts at their organizations. Discover the philosophy behind the creation of corporate social engagement programs such as NBCUniversal's Creative Impact Lab, Grubhub's initiatives to assist independent restaurants during the pandemic and Union Pacific Railroad's strategies for employee engagement.
While corporate social engagement exists in a variety of forms, professionals agree that one thing is constant: Companies must stay true to their core values and business model.
