Corporate reputation and culture are inseparably connected concepts. Corporate culture reflects the organization’s “internal values,” while reputation represents its “external image,” or the public’s perception.

The key elements and content identified through this research are summarized below.

Corporate Reputation and Culture Research

Determines how your organization is perceived by the external environment, including customers, partners, and the public.

  • Trust and reliability: To what extent does the public trust your organization, and whether it delivers on its promises.
  • Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): Is the organization perceived as operating in a socially and environmentally responsible manner?
  • Employer Branding: Do external professionals want to work for your company? Your image in the market as a “good employer.”
  • Ethics and transparency: The public perception of whether the business operates fairly and honestly.

The following methodologies are used in corporate reputation research:

  • Stakeholder perception, trust, and transparency index
  • Reputation KPI – key reputation performance indicators (respect, trust, familiarity, pride)

  • Values and principles: Whether the organization’s stated values are actually being implemented in practice.
  • Leadership style: How management interacts with employees, and how employee participation is ensured in decision-making.
  • Internal communication: Information sharing between departments and units, and the atmosphere of collaboration.
  • Rewards and recognition: How strong performance is evaluated, and how open opportunities for growth and advancement are.
  • Work–life balance: Employees’ satisfaction levels and stress levels.
