The Talent Brand: The Complete Guide to Creating Emotional Employee Buy-in for Your Organization

Do you have a favorite store that you visit frequently, where the employees know your name and buying preferences? What about the barista at Starbucks who knows just how you like your coffee? Isn't that why you keep going back?

That's the hallmark of a truly successful talent brand--when the hearts and minds of an organization's employees are fully aligned with their product brand. Talent branding is the fulfillment of a promise of the employee experience. It is informed with every interaction by employees in the organization, from pre-employment vetting to post-employment separations. It is the dialogue of that experience, owned by every past, present, or potential employee, and visible everywhere.

Drawing upon years of experience as founder and chief branding officer of the New York-based branding and communications agency Brandemix, Ordioni outlines the process for creating the key framework for your talent brand architecture. The Talent Brand guides the reader through Brandemix's carefully constructed process, providing complete access to branding tools, brainstorming templates, and learning resources. You only get one reputation, and The Talent Brand will show you how to create the reputation that drives business results.
