Overview

Crises such as conflict, pandemics, epidemics, political instability, or major security incidents significantly affect how organisations communicate internally and operate. During such situations, employees may work remotely, experience anxiety, receive conflicting information, or face sudden operational changes. These factors can cause communication breakdowns, confusion, misinformation, and reduced coordination between teams.

This course focuses on how crises influence workplace communication, and provides practical tools to help organisations maintain clear communication, coordination, and employee trust during uncertain and rapidly changing environments. Participants will learn how to communicate effectively when teams are dispersed, information is evolving quickly, and staff require reassurance and direction.
