A solid employer branding strategy is vital in today's rapidly changing work environment.

The global shift towards remote work and a workforce that demands more empathy, freedom of choice, and a deeper understanding of their role within an organisation has significantly altered the talent attraction and retention landscape. In this Building a Modern Employer Brand podcast episode, I address the greatest challenge for people managers, HR and talent acquisition: talent attraction and retention.

In this episode of the Building a Modern Employer Brand podcast, I have the pleasure of chatting with Jason "Jay" Kipps from The Martec. The evolution of employer branding has been like a whirlwind over the past decade. At first, after 1996 when the term was coined, for a long time there was nothing. Then, recruitment marketing campaigns took off with the Internet and social media. And, more recently, have been followed by strategic employer branding with long-term impact and perspective and the application of technology, science and artificial intelligence. With the development of AI, we are now in the phase where AI also interacts with employer branding and for that, Jay Kipps makes a great podcast guest. We discuss the evolution of employer branding from zero to artificial intelligence.

What an odd topic for an episode about what (employer) branding really is, isn’t it? If I got your attention with it, you are in for a treat. This episode is not about ‘fashion’. It’s about understanding what branding really, beyond logos, taglines and visual identities. While appearance, as in the visual identity, does have a big role in branding, it’s not the starting point. But it is the point that catches attention, forms and divides opinions, at best! In this episode of the Building a Modern Employer Brand podcast, I aim to clarify what branding an organisation or a person means and requires because it is different to branding products. For this purpose, I’m using something we can all relate to: ourselves and how our appearances, personality and style choices impact how others perceive us and how that can also drive our success building a career in employer branding. 👉 If you want the text version, jump right here > Check out also Employer Branding Agency Emine’s blog: https://emine.fi/blogi/ Connect with me on: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susannarantanen/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rantanensusanna/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rantanensusanna
