In the business of care, it is important to step out in front of bad PR (Public Relations) because the longer negative information goes unaddressed, the more damage it can do to a company or individual’s reputation. Bad PR can spread quickly through social media and news outlets, or from the mouths of those who seek to cause harm. It can have a significant impact on public perception.

By stepping out in front of bad PR, companies and individuals can take control of the narrative and present their side of the story. This is especially true when someone makes false allegations about how you bill, how you serve others or how you develop your people. You can provide context, correct misinformation, and address any concerns or issues that may have been raised.

Taking a proactive approach to bad PR can also help to prevent the spread of rumors or false information, and can demonstrate a commitment to transparency and accountability. It can help to build trust with stakeholders, including clients, patients, employees, referring guardians and case managers and investors.

Additionally, failing to address bad PR can lead to legal and financial consequences, as well as long-term damage to a company’s reputation. Negative information can also impact employee morale and recruitment efforts, and can make it difficult to attract and retain those you want to serve.

Overall, stepping out in front of bad PR is essential for protecting your reputation, maintaining stakeholder trust, and minimizing the negative impact of negative information.
