Corporate reputation is the collective beliefs or opinions that communities, customers, employees, partners and regulators hold about an organization. Reputation is used to describe ideas as opposed to visual symbols and emotional impressions that are also part of a firm's corporate identity. There are several important factors that go into a firm's reputation:
Customer ExperienceCustomer experience is the primary tool that firms use to build a reputation. Important elements of customer experience include quality, customer service and design.Organizational CultureOrganizational culture are the principles, history, stories, norms, expectations, habits and symbols of an firm. A positive corporate culture with satisfied and diligent employees is associated with a superior reputation.
Financial ReputationFinancial scandals or risks such as unmanageable debt levels typically damage reputation.Reputation SystemsOnline reputation ranking and rating systems are extremely important in many industries. For example, a hotel may view its reputation primarily in terms of its ratings on prominent travel review sites. It is good practice to listen closely to comments and ratings and engage customers in venues where they talk about your business. The primary benefit of this is to identify meaningful improvements for your business.
