This week, our latest research note, Executives Face Public Backlash, featured in Compliance Week. The article covered the rising reputation risks that many CEOs, senior executives, and others face, as well as outlining the practical steps more Boards need to take to keep their reputational risk in check.

Summary

• 83 percent of 2,000 public respondents to a survey said they would seek to express their anger with a senior executive publicly, such as on social media, if they objected to that executive’s behaviour in some way.
• The plurality of respondents (34 percent) said they would seek to impose financial harm by boycotting a company’s products, while 32 percent said they would send an email to the company’s leadership.
• In response to these reputational risks, company leaders need to acknowledge the issue, monitor executive behaviour and gather training material for wider staff.
