Companies encouraging staff to leave more positive reviews is a common way to increase the score. Glassdoor itself naturally encourages companies to have more employees add reviews in order to combat negative reviews. In the article “I'm an employer. What can I do about negative reviews on Glassdoor?” the company outlines 4 steps:
Flag reviews. Glassdoor validates if they break its terms and conditions or community guidelines. If they do, they need to be removed.
Respond to them. Responses are shown under the review.
Post more reviews. Glassdoor provides several templates about how employers can do this.
Take legal action. This is always a possibility, but is the most time-consuming approach and the outcome of legal proceedings is uncertain
