Employer Branding In A Crisis

We should all be trying to measure our activities and make well informed, data based decisions. Employer branding is no different. Whenever you are trying to add new KPI's and measure something, a lot of people will be against it. And sure, you can always find more reasons why not to measure something rather than to measure it. In your employer branding career you'll sometimes have to invent KPI's and learn what can be measured and how to ensure you're on the right track. Without metrics and analytics, you'll have a much bigger problems along the way so doing it from scratch and during your strategy development process is the best way to start learning which metrics work and which don't. Hope I add some clarity with this episode.Sincerely,Your elected representative

The Way to Data-driven Employer Brand Management

Instead of looking to short term perks and benefits which majority of employees take for granted and everyone can copy, look at your capabilities. Pick the places to compete where there will be no gap between strategy and execution, because you already have those capabilities in place. Learn more about the fundamental value of employer value proposition and some logic behind strategic alignment between EVP, business strengths and execution.Strategy vs. execution gap and business capabilities approach I apply in EVP consulting work is based on the framework described in:Leinwand, Paul & Mainardi, Cesare R.: "Strategy That Works: How Winning Companies Close the Strategy-to-Execution Gap", Harvard Business Review Press.

You think that's the same?Marketers are very important part in building your employer brand and they are clearly adding value – therefore their skills and know-how are very important. However, in this episode I'm trying to highlight a few things which should be addressed when you will be approaching this topic with marketing and communication experts. These guidelines should be well understood as you will move forward to your employer branding success.

Can Marketers Ruin Employer Branding?

Majority of managers just come into that position by not having clear understanding that their level of impact is very high. From my experience majority of new managers don’t even know what their job is. You take the responsibility with hopes you will “manage” yourself somehow. The support in many organizations is very weak, even despite of management development programs. In essence, you often learn from some other colleagues which haven’t learned what is management about and then they make their own interpretations and advice – which again you as a new manager only adopt with partial understanding. 

Managing the Management

In this episode I talk about ownership confusion – is employer branding an HR topic, marketing or PR topic? Who should manage employer brand and why, who has the resources to develop and execute EB strategy and how? What are all the pieces and work that should be done?My goal is to empower you to be an employer branding expert, to confidently lead employer branding projects, strategy development and understand the tools which will drive successful execution and improve your company's employer brand.Join in and let me clarify a few important concepts about managing your employer brand and how do all the pieces fit together and impact each other.

De-constructing Employer Branding

It should be quite clear that achieving strong employer brand is not only marketing gimmick. Building strong employer brand means to create strong fundamental value of you as an employer.The tricky part about employer branding is that it can not be managed only with the external communication – messages which should engage future job applicants. Your job is not only to create company videos and blog posts about awesome work culture your company has. Employer brand has to be managed internally, catering to your employee's needs and making sure there are significant improvements achieved in employee experience.

Attention vs. intrinsic value

"Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes."Peter DruckerI believe many things will be re-imagined and redesigned in the years to come. This need for change and improvements are the most basic instincts we now have as we have been shaped by innovation and entrepreneurship culture. Let's add some fundamentals about these topics, learn how everything started and got so complicated and then... hopefully we can start inventing the future.
