about massive disruption.\n\nAmidst the upheaval and unpredictable circumstances, business leaders recognise that in times of a global crisis, organisational resilience is critical not just to succeed, but to survive. And effective communication plays a huge role in breaking down silos and building that much-needed organisational resilience.\n\nAccording to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwc.com\/gx\/en\/crisis\/pwc-global-crisis-survey-2021.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PWC\u2019s Global Crisis Survey 2021<\/a>, 95% of business leaders report that their crisis management capabilities need improvement, as they review their strategies taken during the pandemic. But now that the pandemic has become endemic, the worst isn\u2019t over yet.\n\nA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/stories\/2022\/05\/davos-2022-global-economic-outlook-is-a-recession-inevitable\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">global recession is looming overhead<\/a> whilst companies are still struggling with the effects of Covid-19, alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/markets\/asia\/australias-central-bank-warns-inflation-too-high-decisive-action-needed-2022-06-14\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">rising inflation<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2022\/jun\/20\/global-toll-cost-of-living-crisis\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">cost of living crisis from Australia to New Zealand<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/business\/2022\/jun\/18\/march-protest-london-tuc-cost-of-living-crisis\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the UK<\/a>. As if that isn\u2019t bad enough, we have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/science\/2022-06-18\/bitcoin-crypto-crash-and-celsius-freeze-affecting-australians\/101157578\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">crypto crashes<\/a> added to the mix too.\n\nEvery leader knows that communicating with employees during a crisis is critical \u2014 when it\u2019s done with urgency, transparency, and <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/empathetic-leadership\/\">empathy<\/a>, employees are reassured. It motivates them to stay loyal to the company, adjust and adapt to the constantly changing conditions that a crisis brings, and trust in their leaders to do what\u2019s right for everyone.\n\nCompanies all around the world are now feeling the effects of macroeconomic factors, which is no doubt generating stress and anxiety amongst both employers and employees. As a business leader, you\u2019ll want to limit the disruptive nature of current affairs by keeping your employees informed, engaged and aligned through good communication.\n\nHere are some tips to help you do so.\n<h2 id=\"what-is-crisis-communication\">What is crisis communication?<\/h2>\nCrisis communication refers to the dissemination of information by an organisation to address a negative situation that impacts either one or a combination of the following:\n<ul>\n<li>The organisation&#8217;s employees<\/li>\n<li>The organisation&#8217;s reputation<\/li>\n<li>The organisation\u2019s customers<\/li>\n<li>The organisation\u2019s stakeholders<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nMessages used in crisis communication are meant to provide employees with the knowledge needed to make the right decisions in such situations \u2014 to address concerns, reassure team members and ensure open communication internally.\n\nWhile crisis communication is usually reactive, it\u2019s beneficial for organisations to have a crisis communication plan in place. This is so that when the need arises, team members don\u2019t panic due to the urgency but have a fixed procedure to follow, which makes things easier and smoother for everyone.\n<h2 id=\"why-is-effective-communication-important-for-crisis-management\">Why is effective communication important for crisis management?<\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Man holding a business newspaper\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3945\" height=\"779\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image4-1.png\" width=\"1176\"\/>\n\nEffective crisis management cannot occur without quality communication.\n\nYour organisation\u2019s messaging can be the difference between surviving the crisis or going under. Being able to communicate quickly and effectively during and after a crisis will determine the outcome of the situation, and the impact on your company and brand.\n\nClear and consistent communication is crucial to maintain business continuity and help the business successfully recover. It helps to provide clarity and direction for employees, customers and stakeholders, by inspiring confidence and earning everyone\u2019s trust.\n\nWhen a crisis occurs, higher management tends to focus communication efforts on external audiences such as customers and journalists, because protecting the company\u2019s reputation is important in public relations. It\u2019s understandable, of course, leaders are concerned about investors, customers, and also their competitors who will swoop in to take advantage of the situation.\n\nHowever, when leaders overlook the importance of effective internal communication with employees, it not only leaves them confused and worried, it might also lead employees to turn to other sources of which might be unreliable or inaccurate. That may lead to false assumptions, which would not bode well for employee confidence in your company.\n\nWithout a robust communication plan in place, crises can lead to confusion, misunderstandings, assumptions, rumours, and worries swirling around the workplace. Employees don\u2019t understand what the situation is, they all have different understandings, they are unsure who they can turn to with questions, and they have no idea how they can help. This will likely cause employees to start sharing and discussing what they know so far \u2014 which is how rumours start to spread across the organisation internally and externally.\n\nYour employees want to know the facts and the truth during a crisis \u2014 if that information is not given, they will find other ways to obtain a clearer understanding, especially since it\u2019s tied to their livelihoods. Public opinion also tends to listen to employees more than CEOs during a corporate crisis, because the suspicion is always there \u2014 is that the truth or are they sugarcoating the situation?\n\nRather than listening to well-prepared statements which have been meticulously crafted and edited before getting approved by higher management, the public prefers to form their opinions based on insider information coming from the source itself \u2014 employees who know the company best. With word-of-mouth spreading at such an incredibly fast pace through social media, you certainly don\u2019t want employees spreading misinformation and panic inside and outside the company.\n<blockquote>\u201cEmployee communications are at the heart of every company\u2019s success. Most certainly, they stay at the heart of any crisis recovery. Internal communication is the little strand that holds everybody together when everything else seems to be falling apart.\u201d \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/futureofearth.online\/why-employee-communication-is-key-during-a-crisis\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Paul Barton<\/a><\/blockquote>\nWith the Great Resignation well underway and generating more <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/flight-risk-employees\/\">flight risk employees<\/a> than ever, your workforce is on the move. You don\u2019t want to be losing your best talent during a crisis because of poor communication, and make them feel even more left out, insecure about job security, or dejected about the negativity surrounding current conditions than they already are. Especially when it will lead to higher turnover rates and costs as well as lost productivity.\n<h2 id=\"types-of-crises-faced-by-businesses\">Types of crises faced by businesses<\/h2>\nApart from the global crisis we\u2019re all familiar with (*cough* the coronavirus), a business crisis can manifest in different forms. This is why a crisis communication plan is vital, so your business is prepared to handle a variety of situations, tailored to address each type of crisis.\n<ul>\n<li>Financial crisis: bankruptcy, store closures<\/li>\n<li>Personnel crisis: individual(s) involved in unethical or illegal misconduct<\/li>\n<li>Organisational crisis: situations where the company has significantly wronged its consumers or employees, such as withholding information, exploiting customers, or misusing managerial powers<\/li>\n<li>Technological crisis: platform crashes, server breaks<\/li>\n<li>Natural crisis: natural disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados, wildfires<\/li>\n<li>Confrontation crisis: boycotts, protests, internal fights<\/li>\n<li>Workplace violence crisis: occurs when a current or former employee commits violence against other employees<\/li>\n<li>Crisis of malevolence: occurs with the objective of harming an organisation, stakeholders and its public image through cybersecurity threats, hacking, kidnapping, spreading of false rumours, and product sabotage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOrganisations that regularly experience crises like the aforementioned would undeniably be tackling <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/reduce-staff-turnover\/\">high turnover<\/a> as well \u2014 which makes crisis communication even more important, to enhance <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/employee-engagement-trends\/\">employee engagement<\/a> and retain valuable employees.\n<h2 id=\"how-should-leaders-communicate-with-employees-during-a-crisis\">How should leaders communicate with employees during a crisis?<\/h2>\nNow that you\u2019ve got a clear overview of possible crisis scenarios, it\u2019s important to assess the probability of those that are most relevant to your business, and examine how you can communicate effectively with your employees in those situations.\n\nThat way, you\u2019ll be prepared and equipped to deal with emergencies, and can better manage your organisation\u2019s response to keep your business reputation, revenue and customer experience intact.\n<h3 id=\"1-be-timely-and-transparent\">1. Be timely and transparent<\/h3>\nWhen a crisis occurs, there\u2019s no time to waste. Transparency is key when communicating with employees during a crisis \u2014 the situation needs to be addressed immediately. Your employees will be keen to find out the entire truth, so there\u2019s no use for sugar coating or hiding some aspects of the situation.\n\nThe truth will always come to light, so if you don\u2019t ensure full transparency right away, things are going to get worse when additional information, which has been deliberately covered up, finally gets exposed.\n\nTrust your employees and explain the entire situation to them \u2014 because they deserve to hear it. Be clear and concise about how the crisis started, what exactly caused it, how it may affect their current roles, and what the organisation\u2019s response is moving forward.\n\nKeep in mind that when a crisis arises, you need to act fast to ensure business operations continue per usual as much as possible. Don\u2019t hesitate in communicating with employees during a crisis, or else your employees will start making assumptions, which will lead to groundless rumours being spread that may harm your business reputation.\n\nEnsure that you nip it in the bud, by providing reliable information communicated internally, so your employees are on the same page, reinforcing their trust.\n<h3 id=\"2-keep-lines-of-internal-communications-open\">2. Keep lines of internal communications open<\/h3>\nAlways make sure that your employees know they can come to you with any questions or concerns. Regardless of whether your workforce is <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/remote-work-report\/\">working remotely<\/a> or in the office, facilitate open communication by ensuring that there are channels of communication in place. This is to ensure your employees don&#8217;t feel that the crisis communication is one-sided from the top-down.\n\nAny questions or concerns can be promptly addressed through Town Hall meetings, chat channels, emails, Q&amp;A platforms, and more. Having an <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/communication-in-the-workplace\/\">open-door policy<\/a> allows you to be more accessible and interactive with your team \u2014 which strengthens loyalty, commitment and confidence.\n<h3 id=\"3-keep-employees-updated-regularly\">3. Keep employees updated regularly<\/h3>\nCrisis communication shouldn\u2019t be a one-and-done thing, especially when it comes to employee communication. Your employees are your organisation\u2019s biggest asset, so they should be at the forefront of your organisation\u2019s crisis management. Keeping your staff informed with accurate and relevant information is more important than attending to external stakeholders.\n\nRegular updates should also be given to ensure employees have a full understanding of what\u2019s going on and how the crisis is being handled. Your messaging should have a balanced tone to ensure that they stay informed, while not inciting unnecessary panic.\n\nA great way to ensure frequent communication is to direct employees to a specific internal page where updates are regularly posted, send out company-wide emails addressing the crisis, or start a crisis channel using communication tools such as Slack. Maintaining a constant cadence is key, and you\u2019ll find that your employees greatly appreciate and benefit from having full transparency over the crisis.\n<h3 id=\"4-encourage-feedback\">4. Encourage feedback<\/h3>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/honest-employee-feedback\/\">Getting honest employee feedback<\/a> is important, especially in unpredictable times of a crisis.\n\nProviding employees with a fuss-free and easy-to-use <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/solutions\/performance-management-software\/#feedback\">employee feedback platform <\/a>helps you ascertain the sentiment on the ground, and gain a better understanding on how your teams are coping with the situation. It also facilitates open, two-way communication.\n\nThe best part about having it all done and stored digitally is that it\u2019s great for companies with global teams working remotely too \u2014 employees will feel included, valued, and recognised regardless of <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/communication-barriers-in-the-workplace\/\">geographical barriers<\/a> during a crisis.\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_4159\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4159\" style=\"width: 935px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"91爆料's feedback feature\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4159\" height=\"483\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image1-2.png\" width=\"935\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4159\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">91爆料&#8217;s feedback feature<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"5-provide-psychological-support\">5. Provide psychological support<\/h3>\nIn the midst of everything going on, it\u2019s also imperative to prioritise communications that support employees. Many employees may be quietly struggling with their <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/guide-to-boosting-employee-mental-wellbeing\/\">mental wellbeing<\/a> during these turbulent times, and are unable to remain productive when they are constantly worried and anxious about the organisation\u2019s status and their job security. They may be experiencing frustrations or difficulties with the current crisis, and need a safe space where they can confide their concerns and worries.\n\nFor employees who require more assistance dealing with these challenges, communicating the options and solutions available will significantly reduce their stress. Take a proactive approach in initiating communication and let them know that they are fully supported.\n\nFrom employee assistance programs to <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/flexible-work-arrangements-best-practices\/\">flexible work arrangements<\/a>, provide clear details on the actions they can take to reduce anxiety and a clear direction for them moving forward.\n<h3 id=\"6-thank-your-employees\">6. Thank your employees<\/h3>\nRecognising the hard work and perseverance of your employees through a crisis has never been more important. Acknowledging your team will <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/employee-engagement-guide\/\">boost employee engagement<\/a> and keep them motivated to stay productive despite trying times.\n\nUtilising a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/products\/hr-software\/\">HR admin software<\/a> that allows peer-to-peer recognition with company-wide visibility definitely helps to boost employee morale, enhance camaraderie between staff, and minimise crisis impacts.\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_4186\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4186\" style=\"width: 1327px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"91爆料's Shout Out feature\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4186\" height=\"1110\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image5.jpg\" width=\"1327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/image5.jpg 1327w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/image5-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/image5-1024x857.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/image5-768x642.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1327px) 100vw, 1327px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4186\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">91爆料&#8217;s Shout Out feature<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"7-be-positive\">7. Be positive<\/h3>\nIn times of an organisational crisis where everyone is constantly bombarded with bad news, leaders need to lead by example in finding positive aspects at work and highlighting them.\n\nHow leaders communicate can make or break employee commitment to the organisation, so it\u2019s important to keep employee morale up by focusing on the positive side of things. Shift the attention away from uncertainty and fear to focusing on employee engagement and productivity. There are always positives if we look for them, and it becomes contagious.\n\nEven something small like sharing a funny joke or a hilarious meme with each other can go a long way in brightening an employee\u2019s day. Share helpful resources that remind people to practise self-care, maintain a positive attitude at work, and encourage employees to help each other. Everyone sinks or swims together \u2014 it takes team effort to ride through a crisis.\n<h3 id=\"8-check-in-with-them-consistently\">8. Check in with them consistently<\/h3>\nIf <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/what-are-1-1s\/\">having 1:1s<\/a> isn\u2019t a regular occurrence in your organisation yet, it\u2019s definitely time to start incorporating them. <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/running-effective-11s-bundle\/\">Running effective 1:1s<\/a> are key to a company\u2019s internal communication, and there\u2019s never been a more important time than a crisis to support your team.\n\nEnsuring that managers are checking in with their direct reports throughout an organisational crisis allows them to gain a better understanding of how they are currently feeling, and how you can better support them. Employees need to feel that their one-on-one meetings are a safe space where they can be listened to and heard, give feedback, and talk through any of their concerns and challenges privately.\n\nMany employees struggle to remain productive while navigating through uncertainty, and 1:1s help provide an outlet for them to communicate their innermost thoughts honestly.\n<h3 id=\"9-provide-a-plan-for-the-future\">9. Provide a plan for the future<\/h3>\nCommunicating with employees to ensure full transparency is great, but what employees want and need to know is the next step forward. It might be difficult to provide a plan for the year ahead, but at least provide an overview of the organisation\u2019s path for the next 3 to 6 months.\n\nAre there any shifts in key priorities for the organisation? Are there any branches of the organisation that will go through cost-cutting efforts of which employees need to be aware?\n\nEmployees need to know that leaders have thought about the future, analysed the current situation, and determined the next steps. Emphasis should be placed on what is currently going well for the organisation, and what needs to be improved on \u2014 so that employees are clear about where the organisation is going to be investing its efforts in, to mitigate future blowbacks from unexpected crises.\n\nYour staff wants to know that their future is being considered, and that the organisation is doing its best to ensure that it is secure. How leaders communicate with employees during a crisis determines how they feel about the company and its leadership, and whether they will want to continue aligning themselves with the company or find another organisation that aligns better with their values.\n<h2 id=\"message-templates-to-employees-during-a-crisis\">Message templates to employees during a crisis<\/h2>\nHere are some message templates you can refer to for guidance in communicating with employees, when faced with a crisis situation.\n\n<strong>Example: When faced with budget restructuring\u00a0<\/strong>\n\nYour business is forced to restructure the budget due to the loss of a major client, and actions need to be taken in reducing employee pay to cover immediate short-term costs.\n\n<strong>Message:<\/strong>\n\n\u201cDear all, due to an unforeseen loss of a major client, we have unfortunately made the difficult decision to reduce employee hours across the board by one day a week. This temporary furlough is essential to avoid major layoffs, and we ask for your kind understanding in these difficult times.\n\nThe reduction in work hours is estimated to last 3 months, and leadership takes full responsibility for the lack of foresight with regards to a major client. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your managers should you have any pressing concerns, or submit your questions via our &lt;insert internal communication channel&gt;.\n\nWe are currently working on a strategy plan to tide us over the next few months and will share more updates once it is ready. Rest assured that we are committed in ensuring that every individual stays employed with the organisation. This is not a situation we want to be in ever again, and will implement additional initiatives to ensure more resilient client acquisition in the future.\u201d\n\n<strong>Example: When faced with a personnel crisis<\/strong>\n\nYour company\u2019s chief executive officer is recorded saying racist, controversial statements in a meeting, and that audio clip has gone viral on social media. Now your brand\u2019s reputation is at stake, because your loyal customers are disappointed whilst the public is bent on boycotting your brand.\n\n<strong>Message:<\/strong>\n\n\u201cDear all, we sincerely apologise for the discriminatory words of our board member. Their statements do not reflect our company values at all, and they will be met with strict disciplinary action. We do not tolerate racial discrimination of any kind here at &lt;insert company name&gt;, and we constantly strive to create and maintain a diverse and inclusive workplace.\n\nWe want all our employees to bring their best selves to work and be comfortable enough to be themselves at all times. Please do not take our board member\u2019s words to heart, and be rest assured that his individual opinions are not aligned with the rest of us. If you have any individual concerns you would like to raise, please do not hesitate to reach out via &lt;insert company\u2019s internal communication channel&gt;, we are always here to help whenever needed. Thank you for your understanding.\u201d\n<h2 id=\"employee-satisfaction-could-make-or-break-employee-commitment-to-your-business\">Employee satisfaction could make or break employee commitment to your business<\/h2>\nGood internal communications don\u2019t just help manage a crisis. They are the management of a crisis, and determine whether your organisation will sink or swim. Wise leaders will make employees a priority \u2014 because they are the core of your business operations.\n\nEmployees who don&#8217;t feel recognised or engaged are less loyal to an organisation, which makes them more likely to leave easily when the business is hit with a crisis. <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/reward-and-recognition-guide\/\">Reward and recognition<\/a> is critical in making them feel appreciated and engaged with the company, so they align their loyalty with the company in spite of crises.\n\nMaintaining your employee\u2019s wellness is also key, so it\u2019s important to find out where you stand with your employees currently. Utilise <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/employee-wellbeing-survey-questions-template\/\">employee wellness survey questions<\/a> to gain better insights, or use <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/solutions\/employee-engagement-software\/\">91爆料\u2019s Happiness Survey<\/a> to automate the process!
