What is Employer brand?

Employer brand is the reputation and perception of an organisation as a place to work. It reflects how current, former and prospective employees view the organisation's culture, leadership, values, opportunities and employee experience.


A strong employer brand helps organisations attract, engage and retain talented people. It is shaped not by marketing alone but by the lived experience of employees and the organisation's behaviour towards its workforce.


Intelligent organisations recognise that their employer brand is an outcome of how they lead, develop and support people, making it a reflection of organisational vitality rather than simply a recruitment tool.


Employer brand is one of the mechanisms through which an organisation grows and sustains its cognitive capital.
