Employer Brand Management: Practical Lessons from the World's Leading Employers Hardcover - 2014 - 1st Edition

From the rear cover

The organizations that are recognized around the world for being great employers seldom if ever achieve this status by accident. They apply the same rigour and discipline to managing their employer brand reputations and experience as they devote to their customer and consumer brands.

You can judge a company by the people that it keeps. Great companies attract and keep great talent. Talented people choose to come and choose to stay because they feel their pay and opportunities are better than any other organization they might consider. But for the best companies, there is also an X factor. In the same way that leading companies strive to deliver uniquely valuable products and services, they also seek to shape a distinctive organizational culture and brand identity.

Drawing on numerous case study examples this book provides step by step guidance on how you can identify these X factor qualities and translate them into a clear, compelling and distinctive employment proposition. It also demonstrates how the practice of employer brand management can help you maximize the effectiveness of your recruitment marketing, internal communication and people management.
