Event Roundup: Creating an Authentic EVP Using Storytelling & Gamification

The event

In partnership with In-House Recruitment, we were joined by leading In-house Recruitment, Talent Acquisition and HR professionals and a trio of employer brand experts.

Why employer brand?

Employer brand has long been a significant challenge for businesses as they look to attract, recruit and retain the very best people. But with wide-scale hiring freezes, it’s a mistake to think that your EVP is playing a lesser role in securing talent right now. Results from our global Covid-19 HR survey suggest that employee retention, engagement and cost reduction are top of the priority list right now.

The pandemic has shone a light on one of businesses' most valuable assets - talent. Now is the time to reflect and start building your employer brand, one that will give you a competitive advantage for tomorrow. But how do you do it?
