Putting it into action
Inclusive & Equitable Policies
Living our purpose and activating our social impact commitment means incorporating them into our organizational structure and policies. We have many policies already in place and will be working with an outside consultant to ensure they contribute to an organizational environment that is safe, equitable and inclusive to a diversity of backgrounds and perspectives.
Training & Education
Beehive is exploring how are we educate ourselves about structural racism and other social justice and equity issues. We are participating in training and other education to ensure we understand our own biases and privileges.
Recruiting & Retention
Evaluating how we can we do better. Working toward a specific, measurable and public commitment to improve BIPOC representation at all levels of agency staffing, including becoming a member of the Diversity Action Alliance. Working with college students through PRSSA and The Brand Lab to get more professionals of color in the PR industry. Evaluating how effective our internship program is at recruiting students of color and implementing change. Doing salary benchmarking and committing to salary transparency going forward.
Workplace Culture
Examining with an outside consultant if Beehive’s existing culture is capable of being inclusive to all people. Being open to implementing any changes needed to ensure our culture is more equitable and inclusive to a diversity of backgrounds and perspectives.
Community & Industry Involvement, Activism & Leadership
We are determining how Beehive can most effectively impact positive social change in our community and our industry though: volunteering, financial support, mentoring, pro bono services, social justice and activism.
