  2. What is ‘Employer Brand’? “The term ‘employer branding’ describes how an organisation markets what it has to offer to potential and existing employees. Marketers have developed techniques to help attract customers, communicate with them effectively and maintain their loyalty to a consumer brand. Employer branding involves applying a similar approach to people management” CIPD 2012

  3.
