Your company’s employer brand is an extension of your corporate brand with a specific audience in mind – current and future employees.
The purpose of employer branding is to cultivate a positive perception among potential and existing employees and support your company’s long-term talent strategy. In most cases, the employer brand represents a subtle variation of the parent brand, allowing it to have a distinct meaning but still draw on the parent brand’s strength.
Central to employer branding is your employee value proposition — what you as an employer promise to your employees — and your employer brand management program — how you cultivate and deliver on that promise.
So much important work goes into living your employer brand values: from DEI and ESG commitments and reporting to helping your key executives build trust and communicate authentically with employees, sometimes about sensitive, emotional topics.
