Attract and retain talent thanks to employer branding
A strong employer brand not only attracts high-quality talent, it also retains existing talent. If you know what your employees value, you can give them what they need and keep them engaged.
Employees who take pride in their employer tend to be more motivated as well. Which increases productivity and performance. And let’s face it, if you are a fan of a brand, you recommend it to your friends and family. Happy employees are also ambassadors for their employer!
– Create your Employer Value Proposition
We’ll just shoot in an English term, mind you! Because where do you start? We recommend starting by creating your Employer Value Proposition, which simply means what value you promise current and future employees and whether you deliver it. And that requires research.
This involves interviewing employees from diverse backgrounds, using labor market data, and developing personas that reflect your employees’ preferences and expectations. This process helps you understand your employer identity and allows you to formulate unique selling points (USPs) that define your employer brand.
