For businesses today, crisis management is just as important as finance management or personnel management. Having a clear and effective program for a crisis event is critical to the profitability and survival of your company. Being able to identify risk, assess the situation, and respond appropriately is important.
What is a corporate crisis? A crisis is any event that threatens a person, group of people, or the company and its bottom line. A crisis can occur any time, day or night, weekday, or weekend. A company that anticipates an emergency, and prepares for such an event, is better able to avoid negative situations altogether, or, if a situation does occur, better manage the crisis.
The Corporate Crisis Management Certified (CCMC) certification has been developed exclusively by the Management and Strategy Institute to ensure you have the skills needed to prepare your organization for a potential crisis. If we’ve learned anything from the recent epidemic, it’s that no organization is safe from a sudden business disaster. Only companies with a strong crisis management plan in place were able to successfully navigate this difficult time.
Company’s face threats that are both internal and external. Examples of external threats include a sudden collapse of the stock market, loss of a large company contract, or a hack of the company’s data or computer systems. Internal threats include employee violence, threats, and theft. Is your company prepared?
This certification is designed for business managers and professionals. Whether you work in Human Resources, management, risk management, or for your company’s employee assistance program (EAP), people with crisis management skills are in high demand! Make sure you have this valuable skill on your resumé.
