Clarity and consistency
Clear, fact-based communication is the bedrock of a crisis response.
When aligned with your overall strategy and handled properly, keeping your stakeholders informed with a consistent, regular cadence of updates can help to stabilise a situation that has the potential to spiral into a more serious disruption.
64% of organisations have dedicated additional resources to carry out the operational aspects of communicating to stakeholders.
Why messaging matters
The benefits of a cohesive communication strategy start with fulfilling immediate business needs, such as conveying staffing requirements, roles and responsibilities, and other operational requirements.
With a plan in place and activated right away, you’ll save valuable time and reduce confusion regarding who’s doing what.
You’ll also bolster trust. An organisation that’s up front with employees, external stakeholders and the general public is far more likely to emerge from a crisis with its reputation intact.
Considering your communication strategy
Your crisis communication plan should take into account the following:
What types of messaging do we need for times of crisis?
What are our stakeholders’ expectations and how can we engage effectively with the right frequency?
How can we build our brand and presence in “peace time” so that when a crisis hits, we have trust equity with the public and our stakeholders?
Are we prepared to respond to the media or a public inquiry?
