1 Why feedback matters

Feedback is an essential part of any communication process, particularly in crisis communication. Through feedback, you can monitor the impact and perception of your messages and evaluate the effectiveness of your strategies, channels, and tactics. It also helps to engage and involve your stakeholders in the crisis response and recovery, while building trust and credibility by showing transparency and responsiveness to their feedback. Moreover, it can help to identify any gaps, misunderstandings, or misinformation that need to be addressed.

2 Types of feedback mechanisms

When it comes to crisis communication, there are various types of feedback mechanisms that you can use depending on your goals, resources, and context. Surveys and polls are quantitative methods that measure the level of satisfaction, awareness, or agreement of your stakeholders. Focus groups and interviews are qualitative methods to explore the opinions, feelings, and experiences of your stakeholders in more depth. Social media and online forums are interactive methods to observe and participate in conversations of your stakeholders. Complaints and suggestions are reactive methods to receive and respond to the specific issues or needs of your stakeholders. You can use online platforms, phone calls, SMS, video calls, face-to-face meetings, email, social media platforms, blogs, websites, web forms, and customer relationship management (CRM) systems to conduct these feedback mechanisms and analyze the results.
