NZ Management and Hay Group are once again researching our country’s most reputable organisations. This annual survey, first conducted last year, gathers input from business leaders across New Zealand to identify what makes an organisation reputable and why.
Participants are asked to nominate organisations and rate them on reputational factors. These range from having strong and effective leadership, to the role the organisations play in contributing to the wider New Zealand community.
Findings from last year’s research revealed that strength of leadership coupled with demonstrable integrity in the approach taken to doing business is viewed as more important to building corporate reputation in New Zealand than financial performance alone.
The results of this year’s survey will be featured in NZ Management’s September issue.
