Employer Branding strengthens ties with the right employees

Employer branding is not about recruiting new employees. It is about differentiating and positioning a brand clearly in the labor market, so that you become both attractive and relevant as an employer for the right people. And then you address not only possible new employees, but equally to both existing employees and former employees.

 

Focus on people

In order to succeed with employer branding, a strategy must be prepared for what one seeks to achieve, and how this is to be achieved. An employer brand strategy should help to raise awareness in all parts of the company's work to both attract and retain the best employees in a market with great competition. The strategy must be clear on what the company's strengths are towards the various target groups, provide guidelines for messages to the individual target group, and ensure that the communication is comprehensive. The strategy must be well established internally.

Our process


① Insight

To develop an employer brand strategy, we need to have good insight into what characterizes today's culture, desired culture and perception of the brand among both employees and job seekers. We therefore analyze recent and ongoing recruitment activities and study findings from employee surveys and brand studies.

 
  • In-depth interviews with management, employees and job seekers

  • Questionnaire employees and managers - perceptions culture

  • Questionnaire job seekers and employees - brand perceptions

  • Challenges and opportunities for employer branding


② Define

Based on the insight from the previous phase, we prepare an employer branding report that forms the basis for a workshop with the working group. Here we work with the development of the content of a new strategy through four main tasks.

 

Employer Branding Report:

  • Objectives for employer brand work

  • Results cultural mapping

  • Brand mapping results

  • Identified qualities that make the brand attractive

  • Benchmarking against competitors

  • Today's position with the target group

Workshop:

  • Target group profiles developed for employer brand work

  • Role and value creation for the target groups, our benefits

  • Desired position with the target group

  • Defined areas for improvement


③ Develop

Based on conclusions from the workshop in the previous phase, we prepare a draft strategy, which is processed and concluded in a workshop together with the working group.

 

Workshop:

  • Employer Value Proposition (EVP)

  • EVP story

  • Visual employer brand concept

  • Drivers to succeed with employer brand work

Employer brand strategy


④ Activate

Employer branding works from the inside out. If employees do not substantiate the credibility of the message, external parties will not give their support. We therefore prepare a communication plan with presentations to various internal target groups, which brings together all employees about the new direction.

 
  • Plan for how to attract and engage the priority target groups

  • Presentations of employer brand for managers and employees
