Employer branding is “the image of the
            organization as a ‘great place to work’ in the minds
            of current employees and key stakeholders in the
            external market (active and passive candidates, ..)


            Employer branding is about capturing the essence
            of a company in a way that engages employees and
            stakeholders. It expresses an organization’s "value
            proposition"

Applying these principles in the
  new Digital environment
Time & Space

‘Online’ & ‘digital’ allow you to overcome
         barriers in time and space.
   You don’t have to be at a specific place at a specific time to be
                        part of something.


 When you host a seminar, you offer a live video ‘webcast’ of the
  presentation. After the event you publish the presentation
  online.

Channel vs Medium
The internet is a channel, not a medium.
       Spread the communication message yourself


          Enable others to spread your message




                                          www.duvalguillaume.com/news
Consumer vs User
Social media: media use is no longer connected
              to media ownership
  People have access to media and share information
            Creator: as a publisher of articles, comments, photos,
                            video, audio, podcasts



            Audience: as a reader, listener or viewer




                                                 www.duvalguillaume.com/news
Consumer vs User
 Consumers are both users & experts
Word-of-mouth is key in decision making
                process
        People review products, jobs & brands.

          Peers are influencers by sharing recommendations,
                       both positive and negative




                                           www.duvalguillaume.com/news
Integrating all efforts
     • Showcasing company efforts across media
• Linking campus and outreach efforts to media push
      • Integrating EVP brand with every activity

  So, is every JD quickly link-able to the best the company has to
                       showcase in that domain?
