07/02/2008 - Crisis Communications

In today’s environment, crisis communication plans and strategies have never before been so critical. We can’t just rely on what’s in place, because we may not have those tools available for contacting employees, customers and other constituents. We need a plan that will help use ensure we can relay information in a timely manner and for how we will deal with the media. 06/25/2008 - Terrorism

According to the Foreign Policy Center, widespread fatalism about the risk of terrorism means that many organizations are not taking precautions that could save lives and their business in the event of an attack… in spite of the fact that the real lessons of September 11 are that many lives were saved because emergency procedures had been drilled after the first attack in 1993. The real answer is knowledge and preparation; this issue provides information about terrorism and the actions you can take to help ensure that we are all prepared. 06/18/2008 - Reputation Management

Everything your organization does – from launching a new product, service, or promotion to responding to queries and complaints – helps define your reputation, which, in turn, has an impact on your bottom line. With the advent of the Internet and social media, reputation has become harder to control. In fact, managing your reputation can be a critical job that shouldn’t be ignored. This issue discusses ways in which you can prevent damage to your reputation. 06/11/2008 - Workplace Violence

The full extent and cost of violence in the workplace is difficult to determine, but it does affect an estimated 1.7 million employees directly and millions more indirectly every year. The benefit derived from prevention measures also is hard to calculate. It is known that workplace violence is the second most expensive source of workers' compensation claims behind car accidents. We all share an obligation to keep the workplace free of violence. 06/04/2008 - National Safety Month

"Make a Difference" is the theme of the National Safety Council's observance of National Safety Month 2008. Throughout June, National Safety Month activities will address the most significant reasons for unintentional injuries and deaths in the American workplace, on the road and in the home and community. According to available data, nearly all of workers' unintentional fatalities, and 70+ percent of disabling injuries, occur while off the clock. It makes sense, therefore, that helping employees stay safe off the job is as important to your operations as safety on the job. 05/28/2008 - Hurricane Preparedness

The hurricane season starts June 1, and, from all predictions, is likely to be a very active one, costing thousands of dollars in damages and lost business. It makes sense, therefore, to make your preparations… just in case. This issue provides information to help you survive and recover from hurricanes. 05/21/2008 - Shelter-in-Place

Before all of the terrorist incidents involving chemical and biological agents, we were much more concerned about evacuation plans that got us out of the workplace. In the past several years, however, we have seen many occasions on which businesses and individuals were required to shelter-in-place. If you haven’t yet been similarly affected, you no doubt will one day. The issue will help you prepare for a shelter-in-place situation. 05/14/2008 - Compliance

In today's business climate, compliance with a huge assortment of regulations takes up a lot of an organization's resources. According to Gartner, spending on international regulatory compliance is growing at a rate twice that of IT spending. Failure to comply, however, can be disastrous to your business or nonprofit. 05/07/2008 - Cyber Issues

Cybercrime is estimated to be a $105 billion market and looks set to grow in 2008 as the complexity of cybercrimes intensifies. This issue contains key cyber issues that should be of concern to your organization. 04/30/2008 - Business Continuity Planning

According to an IBM study of more than 1,200 CFOs, in the past three years 62 percent of enterprises in the study encountered a major risk event. When a major risk event did occur (such as strategic, operational or geopolitical) 42 percent of these enterprises were not well prepared for the event. How prepared are you?
