8. EMPLOYER BRANDING • Introduction: • Employer branding is defined as a targeted long term strategy to manage awareness and perceptions of employees, potential employees and related stakeholders with regards to a particular firm (Sullivian, 2004). • According to Barrow and Mosley (2005), employer branding is used not only to transfer the message of the personality of a company as an employer of choice, but it also has been used to adapt the tools and techniques usually used to motivate and engage employees. Like a consumer brand, it is an emotional relationship between an employer and employee.

11. EMPLOYER BRANDING

12. EMPLOYER BRANDING • It is the package of functional, economic and psychological benefits provided by employment, and identified with the employing company. • It conveys the "value proposition" the totality of the organization’s culture, systems, attitudes, and employee relationship along with encouraging employees to embrace and share goals for success, productivity, and satisfaction both on personal and professional levels

13. EMPLOYER BRANDING • With the continued influx of multinational corporations in India—as well as expansion of Indian corporations beyond their own borders—the opportunities for India to contribute to the world economy have significantly increased, with the likelihood of favorable outcomes for “Brand India” in the domestic and international markets. • Employer branding closely relies on marketing concepts for highlighting the positioning of a company as an employer. The ‘customer’ here is the ‘employee/potential employee’.

14. Conceptual and Theoretical foundation of Employer Brand Building • Employer branding is the process to communicate an organization's culture as an employer in the marketplace. An employer brand is the sum of all the characteristics and distinguishable features that prospective candidates and current employees perceive about an organization’s employment experience. • The employment experience serves as the foundation of the employer brand and includes tangible features such as salary, rewards and benefits, but also extends to intangibles such as an organization’s culture, values, management style and opportunities for employee learning, development and recognition

15. Components of Employer Branding • There are five components that make a good employer brand: • Product brand strength. • Company culture and environment. • Work life balance. • Work environment. • Compensations and beliefs (job offer made to an employee).

16. External Branding • Every organization has an external brand and an internal brand. The external brand is the image that an organization projects to the customers, suppliers, investors, and the public.

17. Internal Branding • The internal brand is the image of the employers to the employees. When properly planned and executed, an employer branding initiative can generate lively dialogue between an employer and its employees, build a rationale for a 'mutual working arrangement', and establish compelling reasons to commit to the arrangement.

21. Employer Branding in India • A successful employer branding strategy can have a far reaching impact in increasing the number and quality of applicants. With companies like Infosys, TCS, Tata Steel, CEAT figuring prominently in establishing their brand as a best place for working and also attracting the best talents across the world, one can safely surmise that wooing talent is the new battle to be fought.

22. Employer branding Strategies: Infosys • Infosyshas developed an innovative workforce –management strategy – the Global Talent Program. This is the largest sustained effort by any company to recruit from campuses outside of India and develop the skills of a global workforce through training assignments in India. • After training, the trained personnel are deployed by Infosys in their home countries. Increased profitability, reduced cost, increased market share, improved customer service, higher stock value, increased productivity and higher retention rates led to the winning the ‘Optimas’ Award in the GLOBAL outlook category for 2007.

23. Employer branding Strategies: Tata Consultancy Services • The work environment at TCS is built around the belief of growth beyond boundaries. Some of the critical elements that define the work culture of TCS are • Global Exposure, • Cross Domain Experience, • and Work Life Balance.

24. Employer Branding Strategies : Tata Steel • The Tata Steel group believes that people are its key assets and value creation for the company depends principally on their professional and personal wellbeing. • Adhering to the adage “successful individuals create a successful team”, Tata Steel has always given priority to the people, encouraging them to take initiatives and look beyond the obvious. The organization provides a fertile ground for the personal and individual growth of each member in its large and multicultural family.

25. Review of Literature • First approach of employer branding studies starts just from brand. The role of brand is fundamental because of its capability to create differentiation among products and mostly firms, generating awareness and loyalty (Della Corte, Piras, Zamparelli, 2010). • Particularly, the first point to clarify is that, although the literature is not yet extensive, the concept of employer branding has received much attention in recent years (Lievens et al., 2007). • The brand becomes the expression of the entire corporate image ( Laforet, Saunders, 2005), of its vision and mission, of organizational identity (internal and external set of values, culture) and reputation.

26. Research Gap • From the review of literature it is understood that Employer Branding is a new phenomenon in Indian scenario. The following conclusions are drawn: • Very few studies made an attempt to present the impact of Employer Branding strategies on Employee acquisition and retention process. • The studies at micro level or metro level are also few in numbers and could not make much contribution to the study of the Employer Branding effect in India.

27. Need for the study • Today, an effective employer brand is essential for gaining competitive advantage. Increasingly, Indian corporations are becoming intentionally strategic to utilize the employer brand to attract and retain talent for the expansion and growth. • The increasing focus on competitive advantageis leading many Indian firms to rethink their employer brands.
