Examining the role of PR in communicating ethics training and DEI within organization (2024)

Rosalynn Vasquez, Baylor University, is leading a study to understand how U.S. companies are addressing hot topic issues like DEI, the impact on chief diversity officers, and implications for their ethics training programs. Through in-depth interviews, Vasquez hopes to build an understanding of social issues in the workplace and how they influence company culture, from an ethics of care perspective. How are these programs being shared and what do employees of color think of them?
