Key Takeaways: 

  • Internal communication should be the top priority in any crisis. Employees are often overlooked, yet they are crucial to managing the situation.
  • Consistent messaging for internal and external audiences is vital in today’s connected world. The “mixed internal” communication approach ensures transparency.
  • Trust is built long before a crisis hits—regular, honest communication strengthens this foundation.
  • Timing matters: leaders must act swiftly in a crisis, providing accurate updates even if full details aren’t yet available.
  • Pre-crisis planning is essential. Have a plan, practice it, and ensure your employees know it exists.
