- Employer branding represents a company's efforts to promote a clear image of what makes it desirable to work for, both internally and externally. It aims to attract future employees and increase productivity of current ones. - An employer brand is shaped by the employer brand experience across many touchpoints, from core ones like values, behaviors, and competencies to secondary processes like recruitment and development. - Effective employer branding involves measuring these touchpoints, identifying gaps between actual and desired experiences, implementing solutions, and consistently communicating improvements internally and externally. The goal is to make interactions smooth across all important touchpoints.
