Importance of Workplace Branding in Recruitment

Company culture, also known as organizational or corporate culture, defines business values, routines, work environment, management structure, branding, symbols and objectives of a company all put together.

It is very important for the HR team to start working on building a compelling company culture and brand which goes way beyond a mission statement. Creating and maintaining a brand-based corporate culture can help organization to a large extent in recruiting and retaining the very best talent.
Workplace branding is a combination of target marketing and sales along with strategic planning and employee satisfaction. It requires working on strengthening the workplace in areas that are most important to the employees.

Workplace Brand Positioning
Brand positioning is an important aspect of employer branding as it helps attract top talent through effective positioning. You also need to make sure that the workplace culture in your company compliments your employer brand. Also remember that not all talented individuals fit into an organization’s culture just by virtue of their skills and accomplishments. You need to incorporate your workplace culture into your employer brand so that you refine your recruitment efforts to onboard the most suitable candidates.

Value Creation
Another important factor that needs to be considered while developing an employer brand strategy is value creation. Value that can be measured in terms of retention, motivation and productivity helps the recruitment team better project the culture of your organization.

Employer-employee interactions at all stages-from recruitment to onboarding through retention, play critical roles in the development and evolution of a company’s culture.
