Context
This two-day programme will help participants gain a strategical and tactical understanding of the tools required to develop a digital presence that can help solve three key problems they face as employers:
- The need to create a stable, reproducible company image that will raise employer brand awareness among potential employees;
- To provide correct, attractively articulated vacancy information through the most relevant channels in order to reach the most desirable candidates while maintaining the optimal price-per-contact;
- To maintain a positive and attractive company image among existing employees (even in times of crisis and turmoil), thus improving employee performance and reducing employee churn and turnover.
