Where Danger Lurks: Protecting Against Crises from the Inside Out

Protecting an organization's reputation is more than preparing for external influences. It also means protecting against internal hazards, such as employees making rash decisions without adequately considering the consequences of their actions. Your employees need to be trained how to notice and address trouble when it arises, instead of waiting until issues have snowballed into bigger problems.

This session will show you what reputational risks to look out for and how to nip them in the bud. It will also teach you how to create a risk-sensitive culture in which your employees take responsibility for guarding the company reputation. And it will demonstrate how to earn stakeholder trust, which can be invaluable in the midst of a crisis.
