Employer Branding

Before the pandemic and great resignation challenged HR teams, there was the gig economy, the rise of applicant tracking systems, and the shifting sands of labor laws. It’s never been easy to be in the business of people, yet people are the fuel that powers most businesses, and today it seems it’s never been more difficult.

In a world where 70% of Americans say they define their sense of purpose through their work, HR professionals are being asked more today than ever to “think like marketers” on the job. HR leaders have always been considered great communicators, but now the challenge has changed. HR must communicate with talent at scale, like marketers do with consumers. It all makes sense in theory, but how can we put this into practice?

Facilitated by employee experience expert Eric Harris and employer brand strategist Rachel Kennedy, this course is designed to guide you in directing the classic principles of brand marketing strategy, using today’s tools, to build your company’s reputation as an employer of choice.

Eric Harris

Founder, GatherRound

Eric started GatherRound after his experience in brand- and agency-side leadership roles exposed him to a frightening phenomenon: The pervasive reliance on presentation software for attempting to sell in ideas. Eric believes presentations deserve more respect, because the better we are at creating buy in, the more cool stuff we’ll get to do. So Eric and his team invented and now teach The Campfire Method. Since 2015, Eric has had the privilege of coaching enlightened teams – at organizations such as Activision, Texas Health Resources, and YUM! Brands – who know storytelling and leadership are synonyms.

Employee Value Proposition

Successful business doesn’t happen by accident. To achieve something great in business is a deliberate and constant dance. One thing we know to be true: To be in business is to be in the business of people. And those people – your employees – are restlessly looking to define what working at your company means to them. They’re looking to define themselves through their work.

To communicate the value of employment at your organization, look no further than the EVP (employee value proposition). The EVP is a tool used by strategic leaders and HR teams that organizes, creates alignment for, and inspires communications about, the many reasons employees benefit from working at a company.
