Crisis Management

CRISIS MANAGEMENT 7 STEPS TO HELP MAKE THE BEST OF A BAD SITUATION "Most organizations have to deal with some form of crisis management at some point. While no one likes to think that they will one day be preparing for a potential crisis, it is important to be ready." - Brenda Percy 1. CENTRALIZED LOCATION FOR ALL DOCUMENTS An automated document control system provides you with a centralized location to store all contacts, procedures and other necessary information in one easy to find spot. 2. GUIDANCE THROUGH A WORKFLOW PROCESS Using an automated workflow platform will guide you through each step of the process, ensuring that you don't miss anything. 5. TRAINING & DOCUMENT CONTROLS You need to make sure all of your employees are trained on all processes and procedures so in the event of an emergency, there is no learning period, everyone will have already been trained. 3. PREPARATION DRILLS 4. SCALABLE PLAN The best way to be sure that your plan is effective is to have mock scenarios of your plan. The plan must be able to grow with the future size of your company, and be able to be adapted to the magnitude of a given crisis. 7. PREDICT POTENTIAL THREATS 6. SIMPLIFIED CHANGE PROCESS This enables you to determine which areas of your organization will be most likely to encounter a crisis situation. All changes must be carefully thought out and must go through the work flow so that all parties are kept on the same page when they occur. 25 24 2$ 50 25 25 25 25 TO READ FULL ARTICLE BY BRENDA PERCY Primary Source: Do You Have a Crisis Management Plan in Place? 7 Reasons You Should http://www.ishn.com/articles/98132-do-you-have-a-crisis-management-plan-in-place-7-reasons-you-should OSHA - Pros USA SHA FROS America's OSHA Training and Compliance Experts http://www.osha-pros.com
