There has been a quantum leap in
expectations of companies taking a stand on social issues in the last decade.
Our data show the scale of the expectation. This is not a minority movement. It
is mainstreaming. There is now just a small percentage of US consumers that
believe companies should not take a stand.
However, not all issues are equal. Learning from what others have done is only
part of the process. You will need to develop an internal strategy for what you
say to your employees and what actions you will take to support
them.
