Creating a Hollywood Style Employer Brand
Employer branding has always been a part of corporate culture, but in the past few years has evolved from a passive character to the dynamic focal point of talent attraction and employee engagement. New media and technology have transformed communication between companies and people, creating a deeper and more authentic dialogue throughout the “people process”.
Marketing is the new human resource for organizations with the ability to create-web based commercials and disseminate their story to millions of people with a single click. The ability to see inside a company has been drastically altered and the requirement for transparency and authenticity is critical.
Hollywood is globally synonymous with creating visually appealing stories and telling them in memorable and compelling ways. A company’s story is told by employees past, present and future, which is why the script is important.
Technology and new media such as social networks, talent community platforms, mobile and the web have given new life the company story. Human resources must think like marketers and produce an accurate and fascinating story.
Join us as we learn:
• How to create an employer brand story and utilize in the talent process
• What is a talent community and the best practice for growing and nurturing
• How employer brand goes beyond talent acquisition and is part of engagement, on-boarding and retention
