“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.”
What strategies can HR teams implement to keep employee retention levels high?
What steps can organizations take to securely streamline the onboarding process for
HR professionals and employees alike?
