One year after the murder of George Floyd and the summer of racial reckoning, more business executives are expected to speak up on social issues.
They’re feeling increased expectations “from the general public, employees, customers and even their board of directors,” said Megan McCamey, president of goBeyondProfit.
GoBeyondProfit surveyed Georgia businesses and found 91% of employees said they’re expecting senior executives to speak up. Senior leaders seem to agree — 89% surveyed said they also think they should be sharing their point of view about sensitive social issues.
