Crisis Communications for Coronavirus and COVID-19

March 18, 2020 by mike bonts Press

For almost every organization dealing with a pandemic such as coronavirus its uncharted territory. Many of our clients have already reached out for assistance in navigating internal and external communication strategies both in preparation for potential COVID impact, or in response to an incident.

A general principle when dealing with a matter of public health and safety is to be proactive. You never want a situation where potential harm could have been avoided, if only we had been more proactive and forthcoming with what you knew.

Anyone right now will understand and accept an employee that could be potentially be infected with the virus, and that might have come into contact with others. What the public will not accept is if you knew this information and did not share it, or if you weren’t fully prepared.

With that in mind, we wanted to offer some best practices and considerations.
