Definitions Employer Branding
“Employer Branding represents a firm’s efforts to promote, both within and outside the firm, a clear view of what makes it different
and desirable as an employer.”
Backhaus & Tikoo, 2004
“The image of the organization as a ‘great place to work’ in the minds of current employees and key stakeholders in the external market
(active and passive candidates, clients, customers and other key stakeholders).”
Brett Minchington, 2006 (The Employer Brand Institute)
“The employer brand establishes the identity of the firm as an employer. It encompasses the firm’s value system, policies and behaviors toward the objectives of attracting, motivating, and retaining the firm’s current
and potential employees.”
The Corporate Leadership Council (CLC), 2006

It’s not a logo. It’s not a visual identity.
It’s not a product. It’s the emotion about an organization.
The identification with an ethos or with a ‘raison d’être’.

Maybe it’s not the brand you would wish or deserve to have, but it’s there!
