Employer branding
Employer Branding is a very topical subject: how can organisations brand themselves such that they are perceived both inside and outside of the workplace as a good and therefore attractive employer?
The basis for employer branding lies in the individuality of your organisation…
Apart from the enormous benefits to employee performance, motivation, engagement and productivity, the opportunity to understand your employer brand is a major reason for conducting a well designed survey.
Often we see the more positive outcomes of a survey feeding a brand program that in turn is used to attract potential employees.
And by driving a brand based on actual perceptions you ensure that new employees are not disappointed a few months into their new roles, a common theme demonstrated by a many studies that show engagement drop-off after 3 to 6 months.
Some argue that it’s not about branding, but it’s undeniable that understanding intimately what is best about your work environment then acting upon it during recruitment can and does reduce subsequent turnover. It also tends to mean you employee the right people, first time and that they are more productive and successful within the organisation.
