Changes in today’s workforce attitudes require a reassessment of strategies for engaging employees and candidates. In our latest eBook, Building an Employee-Centric Brand, we present a guide for organizations that are either reevaluating or just getting started on building branding programs to create closer connections with candidates and employees in today’s challenging talent marketplace.
Traditional employer branding campaigns may need to be updated to address current perceptions, preferences and workplace realities. Employee branding, the practice of sharing real-life stories about life as an employee inside your organization, is playing an increasingly important role in supporting talent acquisition and retention strategies in today’s war for talent. Employee recognition programs provide an ongoing source of input and inspiration for employer and employee branding campaigns.
The information presented in our latest eBook is based on a recent roundtable session with members of the Trendicators Advisory Board, the research division of the Engage2Excel group of companies. At this session, Jeff Gelinas, president of Engage2Excel, and Darren Findley, president of Engage2Excel Recruitment Solutions, shared branding definitions, provided insights and examples of best practices and gathered feedback from board members on their HR branding programs, challenges and opportunities.
Special thanks to the following members of the Trendicators Advisory Board who provided guidance to help shape the contents of this report.
