• In October 2007 we published Employer branding: a no-nonsense approach. This report provides clear guidance and frameworks for how HR practitioners can develop and define an employer brand and then communicate it to both potential and existing employees.
  
  It includes case studies illustrating practically how a variety of organisations have used their employee brand to attract, retain and/or engage both potential and existing employees.

In July 2007 we published  Employer branding: the latest fad or the future for HR?,  a collection of essays from leaders in the field on what they believe is the future of employer branding and the HR function. Each has provided a personal and professional perspective.
