Community relations should not just be feel-good activities but essential business strategies, as communities now demand transparency and respect from local businesses.
Businesses are failing to understand that local communities are not just passive recipients of their generosity; they are active stakeholders who deserve a say in what happens in their environments.
The case for community relations extends beyond goodwill; engaged communities assist in talent recruitment and foster long-term partnerships vital for business success.
As demonstrated in places like Massachusetts and New Jersey, misjudging community sentiment can lead to significant reputational issues, highlighting the need for authentic engagement.
