Why enter?

In today’s competitive landscape, the role of effective employer brand management cannot be over-emphasised. Establishing a reputation as a good employer isn't just about improving and aiding your recruitment and your staff retention, it also makes a positive statement to customers and other audiences, building the market perception of your organisation.

Entering and winning at the Employer Brand Management Awards is so much more than picking up another trophy for your reception area. It’s about showing the world you understand the importance of the employer brand and see the development of your reputation as an employer as running parallel to your reputation to all stakeholders. Winning at the Employer Brand Management Awards should be seen not just as a reflection of your employer brand programme, but as a continuation of it, raising your organisation’s visibility in the recruitment market and helping you stand out from the competition.

Engage your employees
A positive brand experience can foster a positive culture, improve talent acquisition and develop employee retention strategies.

Develop advocacy and trust
Winning highlights which brands have an exceptional EVP. This is a chance to differentiate your organisation from the competition and gain future business.

Improve campaign performance
Client and in-house teams will have a benchmark from which to measure employee experience strategies, as well as future talent management and development communications.

Recognition of achievements
The prestigious award ceremony offers the opportunity to celebrate and recognise staff, entertain clients and also network.

Equally, there is no better way of recognising the efforts of those behind your employer brand, be they from a brand, human resources, internal communications, CSR or corporate affairs background. Winning at the Employer Brand Management Awards will also give you the opportunity to highlight and showcase the work you and your team do to your peers in other areas within your organisation.
