A perfect storm has hit the standing of big and definitely
small businesses. Companies must step up their reputation-management efforts in
response.
As
governments respond to the financial crisis
and its reverberations in the real economy, a company’s reputation has begun to
matter more now than it has in decades. Companies and industries with
reputation problems are more likely to incur the wrath of legislators,
regulators, and the public. What’s more, the credibility of the private sector
will influence its ability to weigh in on contentious issues, such as
protectionism, that have serious implications for the global economy’s future.
Nesbitt Enterprises is acutely
aware of how serious today’s reputational challenge is. Most recognize the
perception that some companies in certain sectors have violated their social
contract with consumers, shareholders, regulators, and taxpayers. We also know
that this perception seems to have spilled over to business more broadly. Our services are delivered by a cadre of diverse and uniquely
qualified professional staff. Our consultants bring to the table years of
experience with community-based organizations.
