Cracking The “Employer Branding” Code
Position your organisation in a unique, attractive and engaging way
Employer branding is
commonly used to describe
the process of positioning
your organisation as the
employer of choice to a target
group of potential candidates.
The Common Idea
But is it only used in recruiting
scenarios?

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
So, here’s how we define
Employer Branding…
Your employer brand is the
organisational identity related to
your employee experience.
It is how you should be
communicating with your employees,
candidates, and community.

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.
Your brand is what other
people say about you
when you're not in the
room.
Jeff Bezos

It is about understanding
who you are as an
employer
It is about committing to
your people promise
It’s about quality, not
quantity
It is honest
It is about building unity and pride
through intentionality
What Employer Brandingis…
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?

Although technology is essential for communication,
maintaining a positive attitude and fostering team success are
equally important.
Support your employees with resources that help them do their
jobs better. Also, focus on staying connected through virtual
gatherings and other organisation-wide initiatives to keep your
culture alive. However, be mindful of your tone, timing, and
delivery.

Either in the promotion of your organisation’s principles,
encouraging employees, or supporting your community,
everything you do can help make a difference. In addition, find
and execute more strategies to support response efforts.

To drive employee satisfaction, more organisations are
encouraging flexible work schedules or going remote when
possible. Your organisation can choose to offer virtual events,
fairs, and interviews while learning new ways to interact and
keep operations as normal as possible.

The whole organisation is involved in this. Your team will feel
much more supported if you show solidarity rather than stay
silent, especially when working remotely. Messages of
empathy, motivation, or innovative ideas can unite your
network.

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;
