In-detail:

Nothing says more about a company’s commitment to its customers than its efforts to uphold promises of safety, quality and service. Yet, while many companies are well equipped to get their products to market, locating and retrieving them often proves a more challenging (and daunting) proposition.
 
Without careful planning and execution, even the most ordinary product issue can create irreparable reputational damage and lead to legal action or regulatory enforcement.
 
In this 30-minute ‘essential insights’ webinar we unveil the driving principles for successful in-market product and recall management. Discover how businesses are re-evaluating their processes to mitigate risk, and what you can do to protect your brand and bottom-line.
 

During this short 30-minute session (and accompanying eBook), you’ll discover:

  • How to protect your brand amid sudden market and product challenges.
  • The critical factors to consider when facing a product crisis.
  • How to mitigate regulatory scrutiny, harmful social media attention, and litigation risk before, during and after a recall event.
  • The driving principles for successful in-market product and recall management.
