International companies are increasingly focusing on emerging markets for the growth of their business, given the pace of the economic development, size of the prospective markets and the cost advantage in many areas. This growth is fully dependent on the success of attracting and retaining the right talent to run and develop the operations. Yet finding the right people has been difficult. Similarly, in the developed nations, companies are faced with the challenges of an ageing population and a shortage of skilled workers – this has lead to the so-called War for Talent.

Universum, the global leader in Employer Branding, presents key arguments of why employer branding should be a core component of your organization’s strategy.  We explore the career and employer preferences of today’s students – or tomorrow your employees. We will discuss how to measure your activities, to ensure that you are implementing the right activities, and how to communicate to talent to fulfill your recruitment needs. Employer branding will help you be more successful in the recruitment and retention of top talent.

Communicating to the current generation does create its own challenges. Advertisements surround them every day…everywhere.  After creating the perfect Employer Branding Communication Plan, you have to get your message in front of your target audience. How do you ensure your message reaches your target audience?

Join us for a complimentary webinar on Tuesday, June 29th at 2:00pm EST to learn about our student publication, Jungle Campus, and how this media outlet can help you get the right message in front of the right audience. Jungle Campus accomplishes this by combining print distribution at 50 top undergraduate campuses with online distribution via the Jungle Campus e-zine.

The Jungle Campus editors work together with you to create the perfect message.  How? – By asking the right questions. With the unique profile feature in Jungle Campus, instead of you telling the students why they should work for you, a young professional within your organization gets an opportunity to let the students know why they do work for you. Students appreciate the insider information that they receive in Jungle Campus.
