Companies with good employer branding are stronger and more rounded operations. It’s an important arm of your company that, if neglected, can leave your business more open to scrutiny.

Invigorate current employees

Remind employees why they should be proud to be part of your business. Companies that use effective employer branding services have better retention rates and, in turn, healthier working environments.

Questions about employer branding

  • So, what does employer branding mean? It is often defined as many things, but it can be most clearly understood as a recruitment tool.

    It is how a company packages its identity and values to its current workforce, and to those pursuing its vacancies.

    It is arguably the best way for companies to set themselves apart from competitors and beat them to the best candidates.

  • As a function of workplace culture, HR teams will always have a role to play in companies with good employer branding.

    All good examples of employer branding have likely been dictated in some way by HR departments, as they are often the people with the best grasp of a company’s internal culture. Managing and advertising this culture will help you both attract and retain talent.

    Some more specific company branding examples within HR would be managing employees’ reviews on Glassdoor, or showcasing your company’s culture through Instagram.

    Simply put, a strong employer brand is one of your greatest recruitment tools.

  • A good employer brand will benefit your business exponentially.

    Being able to distil the vague ideas of your business into a clear image and identity is challenging but necessary.

    It will help significantly in establishing your reputation as an employer, and therefore how you attract top talent. Agencies and specialists can help this process, and promote your employer brand to the areas of the market it can thrive best.

    The biggest and best companies have a personality, culture, and overall vision that people can easily comprehend and identify with. Without branding of this sort, your business may struggle to hire against its competitors.

    Still not convinced about why employer branding is important? Get in touch today and have your questions answered by an employer branding consultant.

  • It’s a good idea to come to an agreement as a company on what employer branding strategies to prioritise. A great place to start would be by conducting an internal survey, asking employees to answer anonymously questions about your corporate brand.

    From here, areas for improvement can be identified and specific branding solutions can be defined. Being honest and self-aware about what kind of business you are will ultimately give the whole company a greater sense of coherence, and can lead to a more open and welcoming culture.
