- 10. Objectives Employer Brand International Senior Associates consulted with regional partners, companies and vendors to assist in defining objectives for this research project. The key objectives of the survey are: 1. To engage with leaders around the world to discover their opinions and insights on how employer branding is currently being applied inside their organisations to attract, engage and retain talent and their future plans for their employer branding program. 2. To better understand the regional differences in the evolution of employer branding around the world. 3. To obtain the latest empirical data on employer branding to share with the Global Community to advance employer brand theory, principles and practice. 4. To identify the key employer branding trends during the period 2009‐2014. Method The survey was conducted during the period 23rd October 2013 to 28th February 2014. Responses were collected via an online survey. The survey was also promoted in social media channels and in magazine and journal articles written by the Employer Brand International team. It was also promoted via blogs and banner ads on websites of our distribution partners. A total of 1143 responses were received from 18 countries and regions. Europe (other) includes all European countries except Poland, Romania and Spain which are included separately in this study. Responses have been weighted to remove bias when presenting the global results and the actual responses have been used to present the regional findings. Some totals or averages may not add up due to rounding. The survey consists of 20 closed ended questions. 9
- 11. 1.0: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Employer Brand International (EBI) is committed to undertaking global research to assist companies and their leaders to better manage the employment experience and create a better place to work for employees, whilst assisting to enhance the communities they operate in. In support of this objective EBI conducted its third global study on employer branding trends and this report provides highlights of the study and insights into what’s changed during the period 2009‐2014. The differences in regions across the world which should be considered by leaders when managing their employer brand strategy is also presented. The workplace has changed somewhat since our first employer branding study published in 2009. Today the challenges facing many companies in their ability to attract, engage and retain talent who can contribute to their strategic objectives have become increasingly complex. In today’s borderless global environment companies are face with challenges such as: • Political instability • Social and technological changes • Immigration quotas • The need for people systems integration • Understanding of culture diversity • Jobless economic recovery in many countries • Declining fertility rates • Inequality in global education standards • Aging populations in many developed economies. These threats come at a time as companies are finding it increasingly difficult to match available jobs and talent with the skilsets required. Minchington (2005) defines Your Employer Brand as “the image of your organization as a ‘great place to work’ in the mind of current employees and key stakeholders in the external market (active and passive candidates, clients, customers and other key stakeholders).” Employer branding is therefore concerned with the attraction, engagement and retention initiatives targeted at enhancing your company's employer brand. This report will inform leaders around the world across all industries and company sizes on how employer branding is evolving around the world and presents implications for companies to consider in developing their employer brand strategic agenda. Employer Branding Global Insights and Regional Analysis The global survey was conducted during the period 23 rd October 2013 to 28th February 2014. A total of 1143 responses were received from respondents in nineteen regions across the world including Asia, Australia, Belarus, Canada/USA, Europe, India, New Zealand, Poland, Romania, Russia, Scandinavia, Spain, South Africa, South America, Turkey, UAE, UK, and Ukraine. The survey provides detailed insights into the current status of employer branding and future plans for organisations. It also details key trends over the past five years. Strategy ownership We discovered employer branding is no longer the sole domain of the HR department, the traditional custodians. Increasingly teams of HR, Marketing and Communication professionals are managing the employer brand strategy. 36% of employer brand strategies are now managed by HR departments compared to 31% in our 2009 study (43% in 2009). Investment plans Employer branding is continuing to receive a larger resource allocation with 38% of companies planning to increase their investment or maintain current expenditure levels (32%) for employer branding initiatives in 2014. 10
