Employer Branding Summit UK
Date: 19 March 2013, London

I have a passion for employer branding from my time as an SVP Human Resources so I had to include this event. Your brand is expressed through every touch point and when it comes to your employer brand, when delivered effectively, it can assist in attracting and retaining the talent you need to help achieve your business goals.
If you are a large organisation and interested in employer branding then check out the forthcoming Employer Branding summit taking place in the UK. Speakers include representatives from organisations including Siemens, Adidas, Volvo, Rolls-Royce, Ernst and Young and Barclays. I am surprised not to see digital and integrated communications more prominently on the agenda given how much it featured in the HR conferences and events I spoke at and moderated last year, though there is a session on ?Building market reach and engagement though your digital employer brand strategy?. The event is sponsored by TMP Worldwide.
