Communication

A crisis can hit any organization at any time, and when it does, communication is everything. Managing a crisis requires comms tools to safeguard against turmoil, reduce panic levels, and keep employees informed, engaged, productive, and safe.

Maneuvering a crisis can be a defining moment for internal communication as leaders try to get ahead of the crisis situation. Information can ignite or inhibit a crisis – it’s how you communicate that counts. Is your corporate crisis communication approach one that sends you out of the frying pan into the fire, or do you build trust and reduce risks?
