Effective Crisis Communication Skills
Reputation matters! Poor communication skills can crush even the strongest of organisations in times of emergency. The stress to get the message right can test even the most experienced teams. This is where leadership skills and effective crisis communications planning can make all the difference, whether that’s for the private sector, government or other public sector bodies.
Demand has surged for online training in crisis communications skills in the wake of the global pandemic. Never before have these skills been more important. In this virtual course in 'Effective Crisis Communications Skills' from our Leadership & Management series, you can learn how to communicate effectively with the public, stakeholders and the media, in times of crisis and in this new and often chaotic working environment.
At the Civil Service College, we tailor our courses to each attendee’s role and organisation, ensuring that each participant gets the most out of the training. Our courses and trainers are continuously updated and evaluated to ensure that we are always delivering the best service possible.
