If a crisis hits tomorrow, who besides your CEO is prepared to step up as the face of your company?
Have you identified technical experts within your company’s ranks—engineers, designers, manufacturing supervisors—that could serve as credible spokespeople for your organization in times of distress?
Does your company have an online/social media behavior policy, and if so, are your employees aware of how it applies to them?
Would your employees know what to tell their online social networks in the event of a company crisis?
Would employees feel comfortable advocating for your company to their friends on Facebook, Twitter and other networks? (and would they be willing to do so?)
How are you connecting your employees with each other using social media?
What steps are you taking to involve employees in co-creating solutions to customer service issues?
If employees become aware of an emerging customer service or product issue, do they have a way to tell the company about it?
How are you strengthening the connection between your CEO and your employees?
Do your employees have a way to interact with your CEO directly, perhaps via social media?
