The 3 most popular strategic components of HR employer branding
The HR employer brand is defined as a strategic tool. It allows for the acquisition of talent from potential candidates as well as the development of loyalty and retention of the internal workforce. Its strategies are based, among other things, on all the components offered as an employer and for which it can be identified.
Also, thanks to these strategies, some employers are fortunate enough to be on the Globe and Mail’s very select annual list of Canadian employers of choice. This recognition demonstrates the potential of HRM marketing strategies.
So how can you build on these employers to increase your external awareness of the HRM?

Table presentation.
Table of 3 HRM Components (Sample of 99 Employers of Choice, 2021)
