4. Just like mountaineers don’t randomly head
up the summit of Mt. Everest and stand on
top of the world, organisations must take
employer branding with meticulous
planning, strategy & intentions
Your employer brand matters more than ever, especially in
building and maintaining business relationships.
Employer Branding is no
longer business as usual
5. So, here’s how we define
Employer Branding…

organisational identity related to
your employee experience.

communicating with your employees,
candidates, and community.

6. Employer
Branding…
Another way that to define it is through the power
of an EVP - Employee Value Proposition.
This describes the ‘why’ around your
organisation - what attracts, what retains, and
your promise to your people.
It’s defined as the core of employer brand
strategy projects.
7. Your brand is what other
people say about you
when you're not in the
room.

What Employer Brandingis…
10. Although it is easy to feel overwhelmed and lose focus on what matters
most right now, acting decisively and prioritising your employer brand is
what people will remember in today’s world. You need to be able to
communicate empathy and show that your organisation is a better
short- and long-term solution to grow loyal and lasting connections.
Ultimately, you must answer these questions;
• How do you display your culture and values?
• How do you talk to your community?
• How do you support your employees and candidates?

16. The Communication Hattrick
Frequent
Communication
It’s often better to over
communicate than to under
communicate, and it doesn't
have to be formal. You can
keep your team informed
through several mediums, e.g.,
by way of text, social media,
etc.
Humanised
Communication
As a leader, there’s a need
for frequent, humanised
communication. Do away
with corporate speeches
and speak to your team as
‘humans’.
Transparent
Communication
Your employees are likely
aware of happenings in the
world and how it can affects
the organisation. Having
honest and transparent
communication is the right
way to go to boost your
employer brand
The communication hattrick is an easy way to communicate with your team in a way
that is meaningful and drives your point. The three ways that make up the hattrick
are;
