What are the main elements of risk?

The threat associated with the business

One of the most harmful elements of a company crisis could be the potential impact on their corporate reputation and brand image. The perception of the organisation from loyal and new customers is vital to their success. Brand image can take months or even years, dependent on the size, to develop a positive corporate image, therefore suggesting a large risk during a crisis period.

The element of surprise

On most occasions, a crisis hits organisations unexpectedly. It is essential to help mitigate the level of risk associated to reduce potential short and long-term financial losses. Without a strategic contingency plan set in place, high-risk scenarios that may occur can lead to drastic brand perception issues for an organisation.

A short window for decision making

If a crisis does occur, it is imperative not to delay response time towards the issue. It is advised to clearly communicate to your customers and to be transparent about the situation in hand. During this, you should speak to your customers and not ignore them, this can help to build back trust and strengthen the overall business relationship.

By having a call handling team there to listen to your customers regarding the matter 24/7, helping them feel more of a valuable asset.

Consistency across the business

When a scandal occurs, it is advised to initially decide on a singular message that is intended to get across to your customers. The last thing you want to do is confuse your existing customers, especially on social media platforms, as this is likely to add fuel to the fire. As a company, agree on the message you’d like to get across once apologising. Moving forward, only one message will reach all users being transparent regarding the situation and how you’re moving forward.
