How do you handle negative Glassdoor reviews during a crisis?
Handle negative Glassdoor reviews during a crisis with the same playbook as any time, run at higher tempo: a measured employer response on each significant review that acknowledges fairly and corrects factual errors without escalating; genuine (not coached) employee engagement to build accurate aggregate sentiment over time; owned culture content on the company's properties where stakeholders can find it; and platform reporting through Glassdoor's process only for reviews that actually violate its policies.
