An employer brand strategy encompasses all activities that influence the company’s reputation, image and the values it conveys, both to an internal audience (employees) and an external audience (potential future employees).
This strategy is driven by a deep-rooted aspiration that in order to win their loyalty, employees must be happy at work. But the main objective is often to make the company more attractive as a potential employer, and you can’t have one without the other!
Having a strong employer brand offers several advantages:
Internally: a strong employer brand helps to motivate and get employees involved, and ensure they stay with the company. Attention should be paid to every stage of an employee’s experience, from their first contact with the company as an applicant to integration into the organization (onboarding) to even their departure (offboarding)!
Externally: it helps to attract more job candidates, who will already have been drawn in by the company’s image and shared values. This is how we up your chances of finding the diamond in the rough!
