New Values - Employer BrandingPeople
I want us to build our team so it can create more value than any other. I believe that Tesco will succeed if it gives its staff the opportunity to learn new skills so that they can do better things for customers wherever we are. Tesco has developed fantastic assets around the world, at home and overseas, and we’ve now got strong market positions worldwide, but there’s a lot more to come.
TESCO Business Strategy, 2011
Our success depends on people, the people who work with us and the people who shop with us, and our Values let our people know what kind of business we are, and our customers what to expect from us, and by living the Values, we create a great place to work and one where great service is delivered.

‘Our people make the difference’
People - an increasingly important differentiation factorConsumers increasingly aware of the wider context - how companies treat their people
The long-term, strategic management of talent and reputation
Creating the image of your organisation as a great place to work in the minds of
• Employees
• External target audiences ...active and passive candidates, customers, shareholders, agencies, influencers, media…
Employer branding definition
Your culture is the water your employees thrive (or die) in. Just like fish in an aquarium, culture surrounds employees; they live in it, breathe it and when toxic – can expire in it.
New Values - Brand Culture
What kind of culture do we have? How consistent is it across geographical and divisional boundaries?
What behaviours are most characteristic of our organisation? … are the most rewarded? … are the moments of truth when the organisation is at its best (and worst?)
How consistent are the messages we are communicating internally and externally about our organisation as a place to work?
What are the most effective channels of employee communication, both top-down and bottom-up?
Which employee positions are most critical to our success and what are we currently doing/need to do to attract, engage, and retain them?
What’s going on..? – “situational analysis”
