Why this training?

Product Recalls are expensive and have the potential to destroy brand reputation, trust and goodwill if not planned and executed correctly.

The South African Consumer Protection Act places onerous responsibility on companies to recall faulty products in a manner that will cause no harm to the public. This implies detailed Crisis Management & Crisis Communication protocols that incorporate best practice thinking, crisis communication & logistical management.

The challenges of dealing with a product recall are immense and resource challenging. Not only are there the challenges of dealing with the recall itself but the challenges of communicating with all stakeholders and minimizing reputational fallout are high.

The issues in dealing with a recall go back long before the actual recall event. Prior preparation, risk management, attention to quality, and communication issues need to be addressed and will be scrutinized if such a recall ever takes place.

A good example of the need for this type of awareness was the scale of the Listeria recall as well as the pilchard canning fiasco, where it was clear that the management team did not know how to rapidly respond to such an event.

Since a recall is always a possibility despite quality controls and risk management, companies are well-advised to plan to handle potential recalls well in advance, as handling product recalls professionally can go a long way to safeguard reputation.

The training addresses ethical, managerial, operational, legal, communication, and reputational challenges that may arise during and after a recall crisis.

The training includes detailed case studies that will test decision-making, communication,  organizing abilities, and ethical responsibilities.

The training ensures members understand the implications of a recall on company reputation and their roles and functions during such an event.

This training also enables participants to benchmark and provide input on their company’s strategies and operating procedures on how to recall in a manner that would be befitting of the organization’s reputation.
