HR and Marketing functions aren't normally integrated. And both functions can feel like 'fluff' to technical people, however, it's not just fluff - it's culture and it about branding. This presentation seeks to prove that what's good for HR is good for Marketing, and vice versa. Culture and Employee or Employment Branding is becoming increasingly popular considerations as labor markets tighten. Further, consumers increasingly seek to do business with companies who are good corporate citizens. Fortunately, by implementing culture improvement initiatives, employees will drive their companies to become better corporate citizens. Thus creating better work environments, better products, and happier customers, which in turn, grows the business. Fluff is serious business. Cooperative Network Services (CNS) works daily to foster a creative, fun culture - it's not a one-and-done operation though - it needs to be reinforced each day.
