“My go-to HR branding tactic, in a word, is transparency. Share as much as possible around what it’s really like to work there.”

“It’s important to leverage all the resources in your company including leaders, recruiters and subject matter experts to work as one big team and create a multiplier effect resulting in a strong ‘network of networks’.”

“Video is probably one of the best tools for showing people what your workplace and what your jobs are like. Perhaps you remember the old axiom, ‘show me, don’t tell me.’”

“The marketplace has changed. We need to harness the peer networks of our workforce as well as the typical job board market. This creates much more leverage than agencies can on their own.”

“Organizations can increase workforce satisfaction by utilizing technology to incorporate new employee information into a secure, searchable portal providing both efficiency for HR staff and a positive experience for new employees.”

“Ultimately, your staff will have an interest in remaining with your company if you invest in their development, communicate your intentions for their career trajectory, and back your intentions with action.”

“Many companies tout the line, ‘people are our greatest asset. If so, recognize, reward, and support your best managers for delivering on that message.”

“Employee turnover is a symptom, not the problem. Instead, attention should be focused on the reasons for turnover, and looking at data can provide insights into why people are leaving—and how your company can respond.”

“It’s important to create feedback loops at team and organizational levels through mechanisms like employee surveys and internal social media platforms.”
