The pressures on organizations to win talent has amplified in the recent years. The great resignation, the great reshuffle and global skill shortage have had an enormous impact on organizations, globally. With the supporting infrastructure and organizational acceptance of flexible working, location is now irrelevant. Increased digitization, automation and personalization means companies across categories are battling for a unified global pool of best talents with specialized skillsets. It is both a tremendous challenge and a big opportunity for organizations and they need to take defining steps to put themselves in a winning position. In order to successfully prepare companies for these immense challenges, the HR and management consultancy Kienbaum Consultants International and Publicis Groupe Germany are combining their expertise to create a unique consulting offering.
Employer Value Loop
Transforming organizations into a sustainable talent powerhouse through systematic branding, creative expertise and operational excellence
New solutions for the future of the labor market
There is really a lot to do
- How to identify and translate the explicit and implicit needs of talent into a compelling Employer Value Proposition?
- How to integrate, express and monitor the Employer Value Proposition across the entire talent journey?
- How to define and safeguard culture, enabling consistent leadership styles across different organizational systems and working modes?
- How to build an HR infrastructure and integrate the right people, processes and tools to sustainably manage the employer brand?
Facing the challenges together with two strong partners
Answering these questions requires us to think across functional silos and build connections to the corporate brand. It helps to have a strong employer brand and messages that resonate with talents. But to really stand out as an outstanding employer we need to address the deeper issues and ensure that the right policies, systems, processes, tools and enablers are in place. Which is why we are combining our competencies and experience to empower our clients in their transformation journey. No matter where they are in their journey towards becoming the dream destination for top talents, we can help them every step of the way.
Added value for all aspects of your HR and talent management
At the heart of the offering is the Employer Value Loop. Based on the Employer Value Loop, companies can optimize all aspects of HR and talent management, from employer brand strategy to brand experience for existing and future employees to operationalization in human resources.
EMPLOYER BRAND STRATEGY
We analyze the status quo of the brand, the current market, and the needs of talent and the organization. This helps us identify requirements to systematically develop the future employer brand in collaboration with our clients. From the definition of the EVP to the development of a content framework, we ensure the optimal design of the employer brand.
EMPLOYER BRAND EXPERIENCE
The employer branding strategy translates into a comprehensive brand experience that encompasses the entire talent journey. From look and feel, to communication efforts, to the right channel strategy, the employer brand becomes a cohesive experience at every touchpoint that can be easily managed by the organization.
EMPLOYER BRAND INFRASTRUCTURE
With the appropriate organizational and technical infrastructure, we ensure the most effective employer brand. A systematic brand implementation as well as data-driven HR operations and evaluation methods enable the gradual adjustment of future experience parameters.
