As we all know, a company rarely “acts”—it’s the people within the organization, those who run and participate in the operations that “act” on behalf of the organization.
So how can a company be engaged in its community? Simple, by communicating community engagement as a priority within the organization while ensuring your actions support your verbalized commitment. But in most cases, it is anything but simple; it takes a lot of hard work.
