Communications during a pandemic
With the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, businesses have been forced to change the way they operate and adapt to the new normal. Communications is a key element in this ongoing process of change and adaptation even as we are told to expect the effects of the pandemic to be long lasting and new uncertainties to surface in future. Clear and competent communication enables businesses to manage the fears and confusion brought about by the uncertainties of a pandemic. It also serves as the bridge that paves the way for businesses and their stakeholders to move forward into the new normal. How well a company communicates with its employees, customers, media, partners and the general public in a pandemic, whether is it Covid-19 or a new future health threat, can determine its viability and relevance in the new landscape. Is your company ready to communicate in a pandemic?
