Once again, Hay Group and NZ Management are partnering to identify what it takes to be recognised as one of New Zealand’s most reputable organisations.
This year’s Most Reputable Organisations (MRO) survey is now open and, for the first time ever, respondents can share their insights into New Zealand’s leading professional services organisations. Also for the first time, New Zealand’s senior business leaders are being asked to nominate ‘companies to watch’ in the next five years.
Additional quick-fire questions probe for insights into leadership and diversity, issues which have been identified as among New Zealand’s most pressing challenges.
This year’s survey builds on previous work in which respondents selected New Zealand’s most reputable company, state owned enterprise, government department and not-for-profit organisation.
The survey opened on 1 May and will close on 1 June. Results will be published exclusively in the September edition of NZ Management. The survey is open solely to New Zealand senior executives. They may come from all sectors and industries.
The survey provides clear insight into what senior New Zealand business leaders consider to be our country’s most highly reputed organisations and why.
Existing Hay Group research shows that strong organisational reputation and respect from peers is clear differentiator of financial performance and often strong predictor of future organisational performance.
Participants in the MRO survey are given the opportunity to rank organisations of their choice across wide range of criteria including levels of innovation, organisational structure and strategic objectives. Other criteria include leadership, operating models and vision for the future.
