Increasing employer attractiveness: The link between employer branding and a strong corporate culture

In today’s world of work, employer branding and corporate culture are two crucial factors in increasing employer attractiveness and attracting top talent. As a systemic organisational consultancy, Amaze Growth has recognised that the combination of these two elements is essential for long-term success. In this article you will learn how employer branding and corporate culture are linked and how you can use this link to make your company more attractive to potential employees.

What is employer attractiveness?

Employer attractiveness is the power of attraction that a company exerts on potential and existing employees. A high level of employer attractiveness is reflected in the company’s ability to attract, retain and retain the best talent over the long term. Factors such as employer branding, corporate culture, remuneration, work-life balance, career prospects and training opportunities play a decisive role.

Why is employer attractiveness important?

Employer attractiveness is important for several reasons. On the one hand, it helps companies to attract qualified and motivated female employees who contribute to the company’s success. Secondly, it supports employee retention by helping female employees to identify with the company in the long term and to be satisfied. A high level of employer attractiveness also leads to a positive reputation on the labour market, which in turn strengthens the company’s competitiveness.

What is corporate culture?

Employer branding is the process by which companies build and promote their image as an attractive employer. Corporate culture, on the other hand, encompasses the values, norms and behaviours that are lived within a company. Both factors have a direct impact on employer attractiveness and employee satisfaction.

What is the role of corporate culture in employer branding?

Corporate culture has a significant impact on the employer brand, as it forms the basis for authentic and consistent employer branding. A strong corporate culture leads to satisfied employees who identify with the company and can act as brand ambassadors.

Strategies for strengthening corporate culture in the context of employer branding

In order to strengthen the corporate culture within the framework of employer branding, a clear corporate vision should first be developed and the corporate values should be defined and communicated. A living corporate culture motivates and binds employees and forms the basis for a strong Employer Value Proposition (EVP). Transparent communication, open feedback and continuous improvement of the corporate culture increase employer attractiveness.

Best practices and success stories

Zappos and Salesforce are two companies that have successfully combined employer branding and company culture. Their success stories offer valuable insights on how to implement best practices and learning effects that can be relevant for your company as well.
