Event Overview

After a scandal customer trust and business reputation are usually damaged. The actions taken by that business in the immediate aftermath and beyond can help to rebuild trust and restore reputation – or if mishandled can serve to worsen the crisis.

Researchers at Bournemouth University have investigated how different events damage trust; what actions best restore trust; and how this might vary according to different contexts. This talk will focus on three cases: PPI mis-selling; the Alton Towers rollercoaster crash; and the past HR practices of Sports Direct. The session will conclude with a practical toolkit that any business can use to help them rebuild customer trust and restore their reputation whether the damage was caused by a major scandal or a minor mishap.

Learning Objectives.

At the end of the presentation attendees will be able to understand:

• The relationship between trust and reputation risk.

• How trust is damaged and the factors that impact severity.

• The importance of context when rebuilding trust and restoring reputation

• How to use the trust repair toolkit to rebuild trust, restore reputation and bring back customers.
