Create A Priceless Reputation with Strategic Public Relations

As Warren Buffet quipped, “it can take 20 years to build a reputation and only five minutes to ruin it.”

Of course, everyone wants a good reputation. But how do you get one and more importantly, keep it? Companies often enlist the help of a public relations firm for a crisis plan or issue management. Others know they need to be ready for a “problem,” but dont believe its “that much of a concern right now.” When companies talk about building their brands, they usually mean “good news marketing,” launching products/programs and supporting sales.

But equally important is galvanizing your brand against disaster before a crisis hits home. Its easy to get complacent. No one wakes up saying, “today will be the day that the stuff hits the fan.” When that day arrives, however, the strength of a company’s reputation is its best protection.

The closest thing to reputation protection that appears on a balance sheet is termed goodwill. Having a reservoir of goodwill can make all the difference and sustain a company through bad times.

Investopedia defines Goodwill as an intangible asset on the balance sheet that typically reflects the value of a strong brand name, good customer relations, good employee relations and any patents or proprietary technology.

While the term intangible asset sounds nebulous, public relations is used every day to tell concrete stories that provide credibility and entitle a positive reputation. Step by step, reputation is built on goodwill that emanates from reliable products, excellent service and sound business practices across the board not from fluff.

Public relations strategies and tactics should be major elements in any plan to build positive relationships with the stakeholders who determine your organizations success. While there are multiple key audiences including stockholders, boards of directors, regulators, legislators and other influencers, its worth mentioning several ideas for fostering quality reputations among three all-important groups.

(1) Employees: Employees can be your biggest fans or your loudest detractors. If they dont believe the talk, they wont do the walk. Too often, internal communications are tagged on as an afterthought. Put employees front and center, involve them in your communications plans and company initiatives and make them your best ambassadors.

(2) Media: Its amazing how many company leaders have never met the reporters in person who write about their companies. Knowing the media is the best way to build credibility in the good times and get a fair shake when things go wrong. Its easy to do. Have a proactive media outreach program. Tell your good news stories; be an industry thought leader. Dont have your first interaction with a reporter be in the middle of a crisis.

(3) Clients: Organizations need to fall in love with their clients; its that simple. Talk to them; listen to them; give them little presents; keep your promises; be good to them. And they will love you back. That translates into everything from easy-to-understand product information and engaging social media programs to cordial customer service and valuable website tools.

Coke survived a potentially large scale ban on Coca-Cola drinks in Europe in 1999 because it had longstanding trust with loyal consumers and stockholders alike and was able to trade on its goodwill.

Toyota worked diligently to regain its reputation following the “gas pedal” crisis; Chances for recover are strong based on its long-term excellent reputation. Arguably, BP has a steeper road to climb without the same stockpile of goodwill upon which to draw.

Top leadership needs to pay attention and provide resources to inculcate the values, culture and programs for an organization to build and nurture its reputation. Indeed, it may be a CEOs most important contribution.

The Factors Which Give Birth To Strategic Human Resource Management (shrm).

The role of HRM has been changed from last 10 years. So much development has taken place in the field of management with regards to HRM. The debates have been going on in order to properly understand the role of HR managers. The main issue which engaged academics in the 1980s was the evolution of HRM. In this regard, the debate was mainly on the exploration of the salient aspects of the alteration of personnel management into HRM. The debates started by mingling the industrial relation with HR then combine business strategies with the HR line managers and finally seeing HRM as a source of competitive benefit for organizations. The success of an organization is also depended on the HRM. With these developments the nature of Human Resource (HR) function has changed from being reactive, prescriptive, and administrative to being proactive, descriptive and executive (Boxall, 1994).
Strategic Human Resources Management (SHRM) is the purposeful resolution of Human Resource administration and policy issues so as to enhance a public agency’s effectiveness.
Human resources Management give birth to strategic human resource management. The need of SHRM is required to fill the gap which HRM alone cant fill it. SHRM enhances the role of manager more clearly and precisely. The factors which give birth to SHRM are:
1. Recognition that Human resources are critical. There are companies strategic planning to accomplish its goals and mission. Those mission and goals are important for managers and employees to achieve them and HRM department plays a very important role in accomplishing the companys target. The emergence of SHRM due to heightened concern for agency productivity and accountability means that better information systems are essential.

2. A shift from position management to work and employees. Due to political and economic factors the mind of the manager has sifted towards work management. It also because the employee wants flexibility in their workplace and should awarded and need appraisals from his managers. Personnel specialists have continued to demand flexibility and equitable reward allocation through such alterations to classification and pay systems as rank-in-person personnel systems, broad pay banding, and group performance assessment and reward systems (Shoop, 1991). This trend coincides with employee needs for utilization, development, and recognition.

3. More innovation: In the emerging business world, there is an intense competition between every organization. Without innovation no company can survive longer. To bring more improvement the manager should manage it workforce in a manner that it should provide new information and try to implement new things.

4. But long range effectiveness in cultivating innovation requires a reward system that reinforces risk-taking, and does not penalize failure — two characteristics that are often in short supply within the culture of most public agencies.

5. Asset development and cost control. The main function of the company is to reduce the cost of the labor and develop or hire such employees which can benefit the company in the long run. One reason for this increased professionalism and innovation among public personnel managers has been the need to develop and apply two apparently contradictory human resourse strategies: policies for “kleenex employees” designed to control costs, and policies for “asset employees” designed to ensure loyalty, participation and development.
