My Research Question

How Do We Do Find Out?
• Administer the Reputation Tracker survey to corporate employees
• Electronic, self-selecting survey
• Phased communications raised awareness and encouraged participation

What We Asked
• Survey consisted of 20 questions
• Sample questions– How important would a given attribute be to
you if you were evaluating a company– Rate your overall perception of the company– How likely would you be to recommend this
company to a friend for employment, shopping or investing

What Do The Scores Mean?
Possible explanations– Employees are advocates and critics – Self-selecting respondents– Demographic information missing– Poor timing– Technical constraints– Accurate portrayal

What I Would Do Next

What Best Buy Is Doing
• Employee survey will be administered again– Include retail employees in sample– Not self-selecting sample– Analyzed in Perseus, Best Buy’s survey tool
• Follow up focus groups
