Step 1: Define Your Employer Value Proposition (EVP)

The heartbeat of every successful employer branding strategy is a compelling EVP. Your EVP works like your company’s mission statement, but projected toward potential and existing employees. It embodies the unique set of offerings, benefits, and experiences employees receive from your company, as well as, their significant contribution.

Unearthing your EVP

Step 2: Develop a Consistent Brand Message

A consistent brand message might sound old-school, but it is crucial. It brings coherence to your employer branding strategy, boosting its credibility and memorability. Your brand message should authentically reflect your brand's identity, promise, and values.

Craft and Communicate Authenticity
Your brand message should authentically reflect your brand's identity, promise, and values. Clear, concise, and truthful messages capture the interest of your target audience and could convert them into potential candidates.

Step 3: Leverage Social Media

Social media is a very powerful branding tool. Leverage social media to display your company culture, engage your audience, and attract potential employees.

Build a social media strategy for your brand
It's not enough to just create a company profile. You need to be engaging with your audience.
Share stories of your team, organise virtual events or Q&A sessions. Remember, being yourself is the ultimate strategy.

Step 4: Encourage Employee Advocacy

Consider your employees your brand ambassadors. Their connections, content, and testimonials can significantly increase your brand visibility and trustworthiness.

Equipping employees to become advocates
Provide your employees with the necessary tools, training, and incentives to share their experiences and spread your brand message. Remember, happy employees make the most convincing brand ambassadors.
