Communicating risk management to your organisation
THE TAKEAWAY: It's imperative that your communication is two-way. Provide information in as many ways as possible, and seek (and act on) feedback.
This is the second step in a seven-stage risk management process, though it is, in fact, an ongoing step. You need to be continually communicating what you're doing in relation to risk management and why you're doing it.
Before embarking on the risk management process it's worth reviewing why you are doing this - review this help sheet if you're not sure of the benefits.
Once you're clear on your aims, you need to ensure you're clearly communicating those aims to everyone in your group, as well as external stakeholders who might be affected by the process and its outcomes, so that everyone is aware what's at stake.
Getting started
Good communication is essential for any effective risk management strategy. Managing risks involves everyone in your organisation: board/committee, staff, volunteers, players/clients/members/visitors - anyone who comes into contact with your group.
