II. Classification of Issues
A. Categorization: Issues will be classified based on severity and impact on brand reputation. We'll categorize them as low, moderate, or high urgency based on the potential harm to our brand image.
B. Assessment Criteria: We'll use predefined criteria to assess the gravity of each issue, considering factors like social media reach, customer sentiment, and potential escalation.
III. Response Strategies
A. Low Urgency Issues: These will be handled by the customer support team or social media managers. They'll employ pre-approved responses and solutions to address concerns promptly while keeping an eye on the situation's development.
B. Moderate Urgency Issues: A crisis management team will be activated to draft an immediate response plan. This team includes representatives from PR, marketing, legal, and senior management. They'll collaborate to craft a comprehensive strategy to address the issue while minimizing reputational damage.
C. High Urgency Issues: In cases of crisis, a crisis war room will be established. This room will have round-the-clock monitoring and direct lines of communication with the highest levels of management. The team will work swiftly to contain the issue, issue public statements, and engage with stakeholders to mitigate negative fallout.
