Every organization faces risks, from cybersecurity threats to workplace safety incidents. While robust policies and procedures are crucial, strategic communication often plays an overlooked yet vital role in mitigating these risks. At Touchpoints, we understand that clear, consistent messaging can empower employees to recognize, avoid, and respond to risks effectively. Here’s why communication is a cornerstone of risk management.
