Is your company looking for increased employee retention? Or hoping to better attract talented candidates? A good first step is to evaluate your employer brand – a combination of consistent visuals and messaging that tells employees (and job candidates!) what it means to work with your company.
- Talk to the subject matter experts within your organization – your current employees. Ask team members from marketing, HR and recruiting, as well as executives: What drew them to your company and what keeps them there?
- Expand your scope with an online survey of a representative sample of employees. Include questions such as: What attracted them to the company? What sets your company apart from other organizations they’ve worked for? What makes them proud to be part of the organization?
- Compare your brand against your competitors by analyzing things like the branding on your homepage; the design, messaging and navigation on your career pages; and the branding language you use in job postings. This will give you great insight about actions you can take to improve your employer brand.
