ARTICLE 1
Unmanaged crisis in organization
Crises are the events that every organization does not like that it happens as it is not
good for a society or community. Community faces bad impacts of crises as it break the trust
of many peoples. It can be clearly seen from the case of Australia Post in which two high
level executives are found to do an illegal activities. It becomes threaten for society or
community that company executives are found to be involvement of illegal activities. For a
community, it gives a negative impact on society that their company executive gives unfair
gifts to some of their employees such as Christine Holgate, CEO of Australia Post. This case
shows that how she did extravagant expense for their favourite people. It becomes very
important for an organisation that they should focus on each employee because it breaks the
trust of community. It is the social responsibility of organisation that they need to provide fair
practices to the community so that no other people influence for wrong activities. Unfair
practices or crises in organisation give a direct impact on society as everyone is the part of
organisation. So when people hear that some executives did wrong things then they are not
ready to trust again on company. The effects of crises demonstrate the trust and cohesion of
people. So it becomes necessary for organisation as well as community that they need to take
an immediate action. The immediate course of action reduces the number of crises case and it
can be better managed by organisation.
ARTICLE 2
Crises management for stakeholders
Stakeholders are the important element of any organisation as it plays a crucial role in
the companies. Every organisation has a participation of crises in the workplace environment
but it should be control by executives so that they can run their business very well. It is
identified that it gives a negative and bad impact on their stakeholders. Stakeholders perform
an active participation in the organisations. It includes employees, owners; board of directors,
government, customers, investors, etc. if any high level executive did unethical practices in
the workplace environment then it becomes complex situation in front of stakeholders as they
are the part of company. From the case of Australia Post which is the state owned company
their CEO did unethical practices. She gave a gift of worth $20000 from the money of

company without the permission of stakeholders used for four employees. There is no need of
doing this unethical practices or discrimination with other stakeholders. She already under
fire for this unethical practices but it gives a great impact on other stakeholder’s morale. They
thought that they give their best in the company and one of the CEO uses their money to
satisfy their own relationships with their favourite workers. It impacts on employee’s
productivity as well as efficiency as they are not ready to do work for unfair organisation. So
it becomes necessary for an organisation if they want that their stakeholders will not leave
their company then they need to take an immediate course of action against these kinds of
employees.
