Employer branding involves marketing an organization as an attractive employer to potential job candidates and current employees. It aims to attract, motivate, and retain talented staff. Like consumer marketing, employer branding should apply best practices such as creating a unique brand identity, using multiple communication channels, and measuring return on marketing investments. The goal is to develop engaged and loyal "labor customers" that deliver tangible business benefits through higher performance, customer satisfaction, and reduced hiring and retention costs.
