The survey – based on responses from executives and directors across all organisation types and industries – is conducted for NZ Management by international consultancy Hay Group, which has for many years helped America’s Fortune magazine to identify what its publisher calls The World’s Most Admired Companies.

Hay Group’s New Zealand chief executive Ian MacRae says this year’s survey reiterates his consultancy’s belief that more organisations are focusing on reputation building strategies and making greater effort to understand what goes in to building reputation. Reputation is, he says, increasingly rooted in how organisations treat and deal with all their stakeholders.
“A good financial performance is no doubt critical to every enterprise. But to achieve that performance organisations have to have everyone – shareholders, employees, customers and the communities in which they operate – accepting and supportive of the way in which those profits are earned.”
