Event Overview
It is tough to think about the unthinkable. Executives, employees, union representatives, and other stakeholders in any organization don’t want to imagine that things could go terribly wrong. Yet it’s no longer a matter of whether a crisis will happen; it’s a matter of what type of crisis it will be and when it will occur. During a crisis, the organization has to manage the problem while under intense scrutiny from outsiders, the media, and its own workforce. A crisis can also lead to a siege mentality where both management and labor may feel under attack from all sides. How well the crisis is managed may determine the long-term prognosis of the organization — and therefore jobs — as well as the survival of the union or its current leadership.
Join us for this one-hour online session featuring Nellie Brown, CIH, Director of Workplace Health & Safety Programs, Cornell University ILR School. Not all crises can be avoided, but they can be handled through planning and effective communication which lay the foundation for crisis management.
