The rise of Employer Brand Leadership August 2014 2nd edition October 2013, 1st edition July 2012,

By Brett Minchington MBA www.brettminchington.com Over the past 7 years I have been fortunate to travel to more than 50 cities in 30 countries to share my employer branding knowledge and experience with thousands of leaders. The number one issue that continues to draw discussion and debate is whether employer branding should be a human resources or marketing function or both! Our Employer Brand International (EBI) linkedin group of more than 3500 members first debated this question in 2012. A review of the contributions show there is a diversity of opinions on the topic; some support human resources taking responsibility, others propose marketing. There are also a number of opinions which support the view it requires a combination of expertise from multiple functions to effectively deliver an employer brand strategy that contributes to company value.

The focus of future discussions When considering the evolving nature of business impacted by political, economic, social and technological (and increasingly environmental – think BP!) changes and the role of the employee in

contributing to brand value, the focus of future discussions should be on the skills, experiences and capabilities required to successfully execute the employer brand strategy and the structure of the team that supports it! Whether the personnel come from human resources, marketing, communications or other function is not the debate we should be having. Your focus should be on how your company builds a capable team of employer branding professionals sourced from inside and outside the firm who can develop and execute an employer brand strategy that builds value. I support the view that people are a company’s main source of competitive advantage and this is where the employer brand strategy has most impact! The traditional siloed approach to managing the attraction, engagement and retention of talent is out of date and out of step with today’s candidate and employee needs. More needs to be done by organisations to facilitate cross functional leadership of the employer branding function to ensure a cohesive approach to talent attraction and retention. In more than one

hundred events I have presented at I can only recall one finance director in the audience (from Nike!) – There is little wonder why one of the biggest challenges for employer branding leaders is to gain budget approval for their employer brand strategy! Employer brand leaders need to build awareness and capability in employer branding across the organisation rather than relying on only one or two leaders to manage the function.

Latest employer branding global research Our global research at EBI over the past six years shows a clear trend of the human resource department being the dominant player in delivering the company’s employer brand strategy. Our 2014 study (see figure 1) found human resource departments the main custodian of the employer brand strategy (36% of companies). The 2014 study also found the traditional custodians of the corporate and consumer brands, the marketing department, is responsible for managing the employer brand in only 15% of companies.

“The focus of future discussion should be on the skills, experiences and capabilities required to effectively deliver the employer branding function and

the structure of the team that supports it.”

The survey findings also show clear evidence that the leadership of employer brands is evolving into other functions. Interestingly, but importantly, the Executive Team (11%) up from 2% in 2009 and CEO’s (10%) up from 1% in 2009 are now responsible for the employer brand strategy. This suggests an increase in companies now deploying a more strategic approach to employer branding. In 34% of companies, teams of two or more departments from Human Resources, Marketing and Communication are responsible for managing the employer brand, compared to 31% in 2011. The responsibility for employer branding is becoming more fragmented with new specialised divisions for talent management and branding emerging driven by the growth in companies

adopting the employer brand concept. However for many companies it still requires a dedicated focus, staffing and investment to optimise the benefits of a clearly defined strategy.

Diversity in emerging markets EBI’s research shows in all regions except South Africa, UAE, Belarus, Russia and Ukraine the human resource function is the main driver of the employer brand strategy (see table 1). I believe the main reasons for this is because the employer brand concept is new to companies in these regions and the human resource function doesn’t have same profile and influence it has in developed markets such as USA, UK and Canada. From my discussions with leaders around the world there is disconnect between functions which contribute to managing the employer brand, resulting in an often

dysfunctional approach and outcomes. The future challenge for human resource and marketing professionals around the world is their ability to influence the Executive about their role and responsibility in contributing to the development of the employer brand strategy and not just being part of its implementation.

The rise of employer brand leadership According to indeed.com during the period 2009-2013 there was more than a 300% increase in the number of employer brand manager positions advertised in the USA. Over the past five years I have been tracking, collating and analysing job descriptions for employer brand leader positions as vacancies have been advertised around the world. A review of the job and person specifications shows a diversity of approaches being taken by companies in recruiting employer brand leadership talent. What is consistent is the increasingly strategic nature of the role requiring professionals with experience and background in a number of functions which support the employer branding role. In appendix 1 I have included 26 samples of executive, senior leaders and managerial level employer branding positions to provide detailed insights into the profile of the professionals being recruited to lead the employer branding function.

The companies include: 1. Facebook 2. Coca-Cola Hellenic 3. CEB 4. Linkedin 5. Bristol-Myers

Squibb 6. EY 7. Marriott 8. Nike 9. Mars 10. Amtrak 11. IKEA 12. Google 13. Amazon 14. 3M 15. KPMG

16. Cargill 17. Ferrero 18. Verizon 19. Akamai

Bank 26. IHG

Page 6: The rise of employer brand leadership (3rd Edition-August 2014)

The job specifications highlight the increasing role marketers and senior leaders are having in the management of the employer brand strategy.

A strategic leadership function During my travels I have been fortunate to meet a number of exceptional employer branding professionals including Heather Polivka (UnitedHealth Group), Michael Holm (Lego), Stephen Fogarty (adidas group), Kerry Noone (Amtrak), René Herremans (Ahold) and Fabio Dioguardi (Ferrero). I have watched with a keen interest the careers of these employer brand leaders evolve over the past few years. What keeps these leaders at the top of their game whilst contributing to the evolution of the employer brand concept includes:

The ability to think strategically

The ability to influence executive leadership and across functional lines of the business

A global perspective in their approach to employer branding

Adopting the role of a company ambassador by travelling and sharing employer branding best practice outside their home country

The ability to build and nurture a global network of employer brand professionals

Ability to effectively build internal and external teams to deliver a cohesive employer brand strategy.

Whilst I make no mention here of their capabilities in human resources, marketing or communications, the key issue is that each of these leaders has brought to the employer brand strategic leadership function their own unique skills, experiences and capabilities from a diversity of backgrounds. They have acquired the additional skills and capabilities in the key functions required to effectively manage their employer brand strategy and surrounded themselves with talent internally and externally to support them in their role. An analysis of employer brand leadership job and person descriptions over the past five years shows a diversity of approaches used by organisations when recruiting employer branding leaders (see table 2). The focus for the employer brand leader is on recruitment at companies such as Facebook, Amazon and KPMG. However companies such as Linkedin, Nike and Amtrak have adopted a holistic approach to employer branding across the total employment experience. History shows that companies transition towards a whole of business approach to employer brand management after two to three years of adopting the concept. This is consistent with how employer branding evolves inside a company as capability builds across the leadership teams as detailed in the Employer Brand Excellence Pathway (see figure 2).

It is clear that with the increasing talent shortages around the world we will begin to see many more follow the lead of companies such as Google, IBM, Marriott, 3M and EY in reorganising staffing structures to leverage the value an employer brand strategy has on profitability and sustainability. Whilst there are company culture and structural issues in reorganising and implementing a holistic employer branding function if the trend of companies appointing employer brand managers continues as it is has in the USA, Europe and the UK there is no doubt the role of the employer brand leader will become more commonplace in places such as Russia, Brazil, UAE, Poland and Asia as companies in these regions seek the benefits gained from companies who are already three to five years into their employer branding journey. Too many companies view employer branding as a ‘project based’ or ‘add on’ function to an already overstretched human resource function and then complain about the lack of return on investment. We are still at a phase of first mover advantage with only 17% of companies having a clearly defined strategy (up from 14% in 2011). Those acting now still have time to ensure they will become top of mind in the employment choice for talent they seek to drive growth and profitability in possibility the most challenging economic times in history!

28 countries since 2007 including Australia, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, UAE, UK, and the USA.

Employees are fast becoming central to the process of brand building and their behavior can either reinforce a brand’s advertised values or, if inconsistent with these values, undermine the credibility of your messages. Employer branding is a whole of business concept concerned with the attraction, engagement and retention initiatives targeted at enhancing your company’s employer brand.

The contest amongst employers to attract and retain talented workers takes place in a world where changes in the political, economic, social and technological environments and concerns about a company’s environmental footprint is driving widespread change in employment patterns. Today, competition for the best employees is as fierce as competition for customers and market share.

The course brings together a talented team of academics, strategists and corporate leaders to create an inspiring learning experience in the growing field of employer branding.

Our emphasis is on assisting you to develop leadership, communication, problem solving and team building skills, which will enable you to better understand and deal with the complex issues of management in a changing business environment.

In selecting students we look for high quality people with the potential to not only benefit but also contribute to the learning experience.

Whilst practical in orientation, your learning experience will include networking with like minded professionals around the world to support a solid theoretical grounding in employer brand leadership.

Organizations that can attract and retain the best minds by leveraging a unique, relevant and distinctive employer brand will have a competitive edge in the marketplace.

We look forward to welcoming you and wish you the very best with your studies.
