Measure and Evaluate Internal Communication for Maximum Effectiveness

Event produced by: Institute for Public Relations (IPR)

This webinar is presented by IPR‘s Commission on Measurement and Evaluation.

For too long, the main focus for internal communications has been building and measuring employee engagement. But what does it really mean, and how do you raise employee engagement?

What Internal Communication professionals should be measuring are the 21 components of engagement divided among outtakes, outcomes and organizational impact.

Recently codified by Sean Williams, Julie O’Neil, and their colleagues (see the February 2018 PR Journal) each grouping has specific standards that can be measured independently of each other and thus be tackled for improvement in many ways—words, symbols, actions, etc. All together, these 21 standards might define “engagement” but without measuring them independently, we really won’t know the root cause of an engagement problem. This session will examine the 21 Standards and explore ways that measuring some (or all) can start a change effort all on its own.

Sean Williams, VP, True Digital Communications

Money Talks: Measuring Crisis Response When The Going Gets Tough

Event produced by: Hot Paper Lantern

Today, one wrong move can ignite a billion-dollar scandal. Some brands are able to quickly pivot and take control of the narrative. Others are slow to act and left with a reputation in shambles.

Many have asked, “What’s the cost of crisis?” Hot Paper Lantern set out to define the real, measurable impact of such an event on a business and its bottom line, based on how fast and effective a company responds. The result is the proprietary HPL Crisis Response Index, which quantifies the impact of a crisis and a company’s response marked by fluctuation in stock price and market capitalization. Built on deep analysis of 400,000 articles, 80,000 social mentions and over 50 crises impacting 45 major brands, the Index captures 30 years of historical data to draw actionable insights.

This webinar will feature a walk-through of the Index and a discussion on tips for measuring the impact of a crisis response, and key learnings you can apply when a scandal rocks your business.

Speakers:

Ted Birkhahn, Hot Paper Lantern President
Jason Baik, Hot Paper Lantern Vice President of Analytics

DeFacto-BusinessBreakfast: Die Macht des guten Rufs – Wundermittel Reputation?

Event produced by: APA-DeFacto

The power of good reputation – “Miracle cure” reputation?

Prestige and recognition are among the strongest driving forces of human action. In economic life, positive reputation is considered as a valuable asset, which gives companies advantages on many levels and can even significantly increase a company’s value. But what factors are necessary to build and maintain trustfulness or an image? And how can reputation be measured and substantiated?

The Internet is often the first and most comprehensive source of information regarding products, brands, and companies. As a consequence there is a very high confidence in user reports and online reviews, which promise real experiences and authenticity. However, a single negative opinion may cause massive damage. So, is the reputation of a company really that fast ruined, or are there any tools to build long-term reputation values?

At the DeFacto-BusinessBreakfast, high-level experts from science and practice will discuss this matter.

Venue:

Labstelle, Lugeck 6, 1010 Vienna

PRofi-Treff: Reputation Management – Systematische Messung und Steuerung

Event produced by: APA-DeFacto, PRVA-Public Relations Verband Austria

The concept of “reputation” has occupied the communications industry for the last two decades evermore. Particularly in order to distinguish it from the “image” the discussion regarding the concept of reputation has experienced a tremendous upswing.
Meanwhile, it has become clear in reputation research that an increased reputation vastly adds to a company’s value. Not only “soft” aspects such as trustfulness, crisis resistance or the attractiveness as an employer are positively influenced by reputation, the effectiveness of the “miracle cure” reputation further ranges from customer loyalty to creditworthiness and the increase in share price. But how is such an all-purpose elixir produced? Which criteria are necessary for a successful and sustainable reputation building? How can a good reputation in people’s minds of a target group be measured and used for predictable business goals?

How can Public Relations prove its worth? Moving beyond invalid metrics and empowering 21st century communicators – a practical workshop.

Event produced by: Infomedia

21st century communicators are faced with ever-increasing demands of evaluating performance and reporting PR ROI. Unfortunately, many still resort to metrics widely denounced by the measurement industry as flawed. The use of such metrics, which is traditionally associated with other practices of communication such as marketing and advertising, can have profound consequences for communication professionals and in the worst case even lead to bad publicity.

With AMEC’s Integrated Evaluation Framework as the underlying basis, the workshop will seek to move beyond flawed metrics and in doing so empowering PR practitioners and communication professionals with credible and consistent approaches to evaluating and reporting the effects of public relations and, in turn, proving their worth to the organisation.
