Crisis
management

We support creating a crisis-resistant organization from crisis preparation to responding to emergencies.

When a crisis occurs, a company's reputation depends more on how well it handles the situation's aftermath than on the problem itself. At Arex, we support our clients, from establishing an emergency preparedness system to post-crisis public relations. Our experienced consultants, including those from the mass media, have earned high praise from many of our clients for their advice based on real-world experience.

01 Emergency Response/Public Relations Response Support

Our consultants, who have extensive experience and know-how in handling incidents, accidents, and scandals, form a specialized team when an emergency arises. We support our clients in formulating basic policies and communication strategies and responding to the media, customers, employees, and residents. If necessary, we can also provide direct on-site assistance. We also support the development of communication strategies to rebuild the company's image after the crisis.

02 Support for building a crisis management system

To prevent crises from occurring or to resolve them in their earliest stages, it is necessary for top executives, managers, and crisis managers to understand the risks in advance and to enhance their crisis awareness and crisis response capabilities at ordinary times.

We will clarify the criteria for deciding whether or not to make an announcement outside the company and how to choose an announcement method, a list of key stakeholders, an internal contact network, and procedures for handling public relations in the event of an emergency, and prepare model forms for press releases, Q&A, and other information. Even if a crisis management manual has already been prepared, we will provide advice as needed and help improve the manual to make it more practical.
