We’ve discussed why establishing a time-sensitive Employer Brand is essential for meeting hiring goals. The next step, how does a company execute their new brand to bring the desired results?

First, find an authentic narrative. The coronavirus pandemic has affected the entire world, so don’t be afraid to express how your organization has/is dealing with it. Good or bad, challenges or achievements—working an open story into your EVP and Employer Brand builds trust with potential candidates that can strengthen their commitment to your organization.

Next, support your narrative with the right messaging. Rethink optics, visuals, and tone of voice—avoid grandiose appearances and focus on simplicity. Then, identify the types of content to best bring out your message. This could be blogs written by current employees, video diaries, podcasts, training content, etc. An increase in social media posts sharing new content will not only exhibit your brand’s affinity for current times but will keep you top-of-mind with candidates.

Updated Employer Brands have proven to help many organizations. Gartner reports organizations that effectively deliver on their EVP/Employer Brand can decrease annual employee turnover by 69%. In addition, creating a modified and inclusive Employer Brand reduces CPH and time to hire, increases applicant quality, and establishes a competitive and authentic employer brand identity.
