Introduction

When it comes to talent, business is a lot like sports: The teams with the best organization and players win, and these same teams attract the best players, keep them, and build franchises with the momentum to continue their success.

As the global competition for talent heats up, your organization must do more to attract, engage, and retain the talent it needs to succeed. One of the most effective ways to accomplish this goal is to build a strong employer brand — a reputation and proven track record for being a great place to work.

Follow our lead, invest the necessary time and effort upfront, and your organization will soon have an employer brand that does much of the heavy lifting required to attract, engage, and retain the most talented candidates in the workforce.

Already have an employer brand? Then this book is also for you. You can apply the same guidance presented in this book to fix a broken employer brand, build a better employer brand, or create a new employer brand from scratch. You also discover strategies for giving a global employer brand local relevance.
