    The War for Human Capital - The Toughest Fight of your Organisation

    Synopsis
    In the course of business, companies compete with other companies for customers. No matter how brutal the competition for customers, it is nowhere near as brutal as the war for human capital. Competition for customers only exists between brands that operate within a particular category or industry. But competition for human capital goes beyond just the players in your industry. A marketing manager can choose to work for any company in any industry. So can an accountant or engineer or software engineer. That is why the war for human capital is the toughest fight that your company will ever face.

    In order to improve your odds in this war, you need to build a stronger Employer Brand and that requires that you understand some critical components of Employer Branding such as:
  • What is the one idea that you stand for as an employer?
  • Do you know the perception of you as an employer?
  • How do you differentiate your employer brand from the competition?
  • Are your people aligned with the employer brand?
  • Are your communications messages forceful, accurate and consistent?
  • 5.50 - 6.00pm Closing Remarks & End of Event
