Are you, your company, and your team "Crisis Ready"?

 

If photos of an accident, or claims of a discrimination case involving your company went viral on WeChat or were reported online via the media, would you/your team be able to contain and control the damage?

 

Is your Crisis Communications Plan water-tight in today's digitized environment? Do all employees understand and follow the plan? Is it feasible and effective in an actual crisis situation?

 

Join Dr Laurie Underwood, professor, Corporate Communications specialist, and former journalist, for this highly interactive, full-day training.
