ILMA Compoundings - June 2020 - 22

T

he COVID-19 pandemic
sidelined workers, silenced
plants and put entire industries
on hold as citizens were told to "stay
home, stay safe." But thanks to strategic preparation, some manufacturers
were better equipped than others to
navigate the COVID-19 communications fallout and ensure that clients
and stakeholders stayed informed
about the virus's potential impact on
the business and the many people
supporting that business. For example,
one ILMA member's website featured
this message on its home page:
Amidst the global health crisis surrounding the spread of coronavirus
(COVID-19), King Industries Inc.
hopes and prays for the health and
well-being of our valued customers,
business partners and their families
during this difficult time.

As the health of our mutual businesses is also on our minds, the safety
and well-being of our employees is of
highest priority in the fight to prevent
COVID-19 from entering our network or impacting our production.
To this end, King has taken swift and
early actions that have helped reduce
our risk for exposure, including
real-time supplier communications to
ensure the supply of our critical raw
materials. As of today, we remain
open for business, and all operations
are fully functioning.  
We look forward to continuing our
supply of key technical products for
your applications. 
Please continue to check our website
for updates on our operations through
the COVID-19 health emergency.
Such well-conceived statements of
assurance and community care do

not just happen. They result from a
comprehensive approach to crisiscommunication planning. Of course,
no one can foresee every possible
future threat to business and customer
confidence. But having a detailed and
up-to-date crisis-communication plan
can strengthen customer and community ties, even as it helps to protect
your business and reputation from
long-term damage.

Avoiding the Stumbling Blocks

"If you look at every horrible situation
that could have been handled better
throughout the decades, it's usually
not what happened that leads to longterm issues or loss of reputation. It's
how the people running the organization responded," said Jeff Krakoff,
president of Krakoff Communications
in Carnegie, Pennsylvania, a suburb
