2016
In 2016 Colmar Brunton launched the Public Sector Reputation Index. This was in response to an increasing demand from our clients to understand how they are perceived in relation to others.
2017
We have repeated the research in 2017 providing public sector agencies with the opportunity to see how their reputation has changed over the past 12 months. In addition, we have expanded the list of agencies included in the survey from 31 to 39, and there are some new entrants in the top 10.
The survey uses the global RepZ framework tailored to the public sector, with each agency’s reputation indexed against the others (the average score is 100).
Standardised reputation attributes and advocacy asked across 39 leading public sector organisations.
2,000 online interviews conducted from 23 November to 13 December 2016.
Nationally representative sample by age, gender, household size, income, ethnicity, and region.
Based on the global RepZ framework, the index uses four pillars to measure an organisation’s reputation.
A number of attributes sit under the four pillars. These pillars are of almost equal importance in determining reputation.
– Is a successful and well run organisation
– Is a forward looking organisation
– Attracts and retains top talented staff
– Is easy to deal with in a digital environment
– Contributes to economic growth
– Anticipates future trends and opportunities
– Adapts quickly to change
– Has a long term perspective
– Deals fairly with people regardless of their
background or role
– Treats their employees well
– Honours the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi
– Is a positive influence on society
– Behaves in a responsible way towards the environment
– Is open and transparent
– Is trustworthy
– Listens to the public’s point of view
– Can be relied upon to protect individuals’
personal information
– Communicates clearly and consistently
– Uses taxpayer money responsibly
– Provides effective services
– Understands customers’ needs
