Because there is a certain level of unclarity and doubt about internal employer branding and how it promotes employee engagement, we thought it was the right moment to go back to the roots of employer branding. So, this episode of the Vantage HR Influencers podcast is dedicated to HR directors and HR managers who wish to understand the relevance of employer branding and is likely to explain why it makes sense to own a great internal employer branding strategy.
