Crisis communication
When a crisis strikes, the company’s reputation is tested. Every crisis is different, but one thing is sure: they are difficult to predict.
Unpreparedness for a crisis can escalate quickly and leave an unpleasant stain on the company’s reputation for a long time. Anticipating potential damage to reputation with good crisis communication training and planning is always worthwhile.
Our training teaches your organization to manage media attention during a crisis and to act effectively and calmly. Crisis communication training covers the phases of a crisis, communication strategies, and responses to questions that arise during a crisis.
Crisis Communication Plan
A well-planned approach is halfway to success – this holds especially true for crisis communication. This way, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel when something unpleasant has already happened. In crisis preparedness, it is crucial to document the communication measures, responsibilities, and roles in exceptional situations and regularly review them with key individuals.
Crisis Communication Training
In crisis communication training, we go through the different phases of a crisis. We determine what can and should be communicated, who communicates and when, and what kinds of questions various crises may raise. The goal is to ensure that key personnel in your company know what to do if a crisis occurs.
A crisis faced by a company can damage its reputation. Skillful communication during a crisis can turn negative attention into an advantage and strengthen your company’s reputation.
