At Kite Hill PR, we believe that it is everyone's responsibility to speak out against injustice. As communicators, we can use our voice and take supportive actions.
In light of current events, we wanted to share information on some of the actions our agency is taking to showcase our commitment to being an inclusive and diverse employer.
As a company, we made a corporate donation to the NAACP, an organization committed to fighting for civil rights. We recognize that this is not enough and looked inward to further support and empower our team.
Below are some other actions that we are taking that you may want to consider if you are a corporate or agency leader:
Corporate Donation Matching: We are rolling out a new donation matching program. These programs allow an employee’s donations to a non-profit organization of their choice go even further.
Round Table Discussions: We are hosting internal round table discussions to share experiences and feelings as a team. Actions are important and one of the actions our senior leaders are taking is simple: listen.
Flexible OOO: Like many companies, we have an unlimited vacation policy. We have been very proactive in encouraging everyone to take the time they need. Sometimes that means taking a day off for mental health. Employees are also encouraged to use that time to support causes important to them.
If you’d like to further discuss these actions or other actions you are considering for your company, I am always available.
What we have done in the past isn't going to cut it in the future and we must make conscious decisions every day to improve the agency, the industry and the world.
