Editor’s Note
A great employer brand is a wonderful thing. It positions your organization as the company where top talent wants to be. It improves recruiting, employee retention and engagement and also leads to higher revenue and lower costs.
It’s no wonder why 68 percent of the “world’s most attractive employers” have employer branding strategies in place as of 2017, and of those that don’t, 76 percent plan to develop them, according to the ERE Employer Branding Now survey.
There are many components to effective employer branding—a few examples include creating a standout employer value proposition (EVP), consistently applying the EVP messaging to all talent sourcing and customer contact points, and developing quality content that supports the EVP.
