Whether you own a business or are managing a personality, crisis management has taken on an entirely new look in the electronic age. Before the personal computer and the Internet connected the world at the press of a button, the media was relied upon for public relations opportunities. The electronic frontier, however, has created a whole new playing field for individuals to take a proactive approach to promoting and defending their name.
Social media in particular offers unique opportunities to push awareness. Blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and other outlets allow individuals to engage and interact with online communities rather than relying on blanket, reactionary responses. Web sites may have been the go-to platform for public relations for the last decade, but a web site alone does not offer a complete crisis management package. Information on a web site can become stale, while a Twitter feed offers instant information to an audience as the news breaks. The benefits of social media extend beyond the crisis and into the recovery phase, where audiences can be reassured of a successful outcome or changes to the brand.

Bradley Marshall, president of Chartman’s Inc., strives to improve the relationship between employers and employees through effective conflict resolution. A few tips can facilitate the conflict resolution process.
1. It is not always clear what the actual source of conflict may be. To help identify the problem, allow all parties to give their side of the story. Use the information given to reach a consensus as to what the problem actually is.
2. It can be virtually impossible to arrive at a solution that completely mollifies all parties. One commonly successful approach is to strive to reach a compromise by asking each party to identify what they are willing to give up. The ultimate goal is to have the parties focus on moving forward to reach mutually agreed-upon goals.
3. Major workplace issues typically start out as minor problems that escalate over time. Taking a proactive approach by addressing seemingly insignificant issues as soon as they crop up can keep workplace conflicts to a minimum.
