8. EMPLOYER BRANDING
• Introduction:
• Employer branding is defined as a targeted long term
strategy to manage awareness and perceptions of
employees, potential employees and related stakeholders
with regards to a particular firm (Sullivian, 2004).
• According to Barrow and Mosley (2005), employer branding
is used not only to transfer the message of the personality
of a company as an employer of choice, but it also has
been used to adapt the tools and techniques usually used to
motivate and engage employees. Like a consumer brand, it
is an emotional relationship between an employer and
employee.

11. EMPLOYER BRANDING

12. EMPLOYER BRANDING
• It is the package of functional, economic and
psychological benefits provided by employment,
and identified with the employing company.
• It conveys the "value proposition" the totality of
the organization’s culture, systems, attitudes,
and employee relationship along with
encouraging employees to embrace and share
goals for success, productivity, and satisfaction
both on personal and professional levels

13. EMPLOYER BRANDING
• With the continued influx of multinational
corporations in India—as well as expansion of
Indian corporations beyond their own borders—the
opportunities for India to contribute to the world
economy have significantly increased, with the
likelihood of favorable outcomes for “Brand India”
in the domestic and international markets.
• Employer branding closely relies on marketing
concepts for highlighting the positioning of a
company as an employer. The ‘customer’ here is
the ‘employee/potential employee’.

14. Conceptual and Theoretical
foundation of Employer Brand
Building
• Employer branding is the process to communicate an
organization's culture as an employer in the
marketplace. An employer brand is the sum of all the
characteristics and distinguishable features that
prospective candidates and current employees perceive
about an organization’s employment experience.
• The employment experience serves as the foundation of
the employer brand and includes tangible features such
as salary, rewards and benefits, but also extends to
intangibles such as an organization’s culture, values,
management style and opportunities for employee
learning, development and recognition

15. Components of Employer
Branding
• There are five components that make a good
employer brand:
1. Product brand strength.
2. Company culture and environment.
3. Work life balance.
4. Work environment.
5. Compensations and beliefs (job offer made to
an employee).

16. External Branding
•Every organization has an
external brand and an internal
brand. The external brand is the
image that an organization
projects to the customers,
suppliers, investors, and the
public.

17. Internal Branding
• The internal brand is the image of the
employers to the employees. When
properly planned and executed, an
employer branding initiative can generate
lively dialogue between an employer and
its employees, build a rationale for a
'mutual working arrangement', and
establish compelling reasons to commit
to the arrangement.

21. Employer Branding in India
• A successful employer branding strategy
can have a far reaching impact in
increasing the number and quality of
applicants. With companies like Infosys,
TCS, Tata Steel, CEAT figuring prominently
in establishing their brand as a best place
for working and also attracting the best
talents across the world, one can safely
surmise that wooing talent is the new
battle to be fought.

22. Employer branding Strategies:
Infosys
• Infosys has developed an innovative workforce –
management strategy – the Global Talent Program. This is
the largest sustained effort by any company to recruit from
campuses outside of India and develop the skills of a global
workforce through training assignments in India.
• After training, the trained personnel are deployed by Infosys
in their home countries. Increased profitability, reduced
cost, increased market share, improved customer service,
higher stock value, increased productivity and higher
retention rates led to the winning the ‘Optimas’ Award in
the GLOBAL outlook category for 2007.

23. Employer branding Strategies:
Tata Consultancy Services
• The work environment at TCS is built
around the belief of growth beyond
boundaries. Some of the critical elements
that define the work culture of TCS are
• Global Exposure,
• Cross Domain Experience,
• and Work Life Balance.

24. Employer Branding
Strategies : Tata Steel
• The Tata Steel group believes that people are its
key assets and value creation for the company
depends principally on their professional and
personal wellbeing.
• Adhering to the adage “successful individuals
create a successful team”, Tata Steel has always
given priority to the people, encouraging them to
take initiatives and look beyond the obvious. The
organization provides a fertile ground for the
personal and individual growth of each member in
its large and multicultural family.

25. Review of Literature
• First approach of employer branding studies starts just from
brand. The role of brand is fundamental because of its
capability to create differentiation among products and mostly
firms, generating awareness and loyalty (Della Corte, Piras,
Zamparelli, 2010).
• Particularly, the first point to clarify is that, although the
literature is not yet extensive, the concept of employer
branding has received much attention in recent years
(Lievens et al., 2007).
• The brand becomes the expression of the entire corporate
image ( Laforet, Saunders, 2005), of its vision and mission, of
organizational identity (internal and external set of values,
culture) and reputation.

26. Research Gap
• From the review of literature it is understood
that Employer Branding is a new phenomenon
in Indian scenario. The following conclusions
are drawn:
• Very few studies made an attempt to present the
impact of Employer Branding strategies on
Employee acquisition and retention process.
• The studies at micro level or metro level are also
few in numbers and could not make much
contribution to the study of the Employer
Branding effect in India.

27. Need for the study
• Today, an effective employer brand is
essential for gaining competitive advantage.
Increasingly, Indian corporations are becoming
intentionally strategic to utilize the employer
brand to attract and retain talent for the
expansion and growth.
• The increasing focus on competitive advantage
is leading many Indian firms to rethink their
employer brands.

28. Objective of the Study
