Why create a separate employer brand?
Creating a strong employer brand is all about crafting meaningful employee experiences that bring your brand to life every day, in every way. It’s about communicating and offering employees initiatives and activities that are true to the company’s values and more importantly, that resonate and align with the employee’s own values and lifestyle. An authentic employer brand that’s true to its promise does more than just attract future candidates, it also lends itself to creating strong consumer perception of the brand and as such, has a direct, positive impact on the customer experience, while increasing the credibility of the brand’s leadership in its industry.
To be sure, as is the case with the corporate brand, building an employer brand takes time and sustained, consistent effort.
At Cabana Séguin, we define a brand as being the sum of all the various impressions communicated by a given product or service. These impressions come from hundreds of different sources, both internal and external, and often, the consumer isn’t even aware they are experiencing them.

Your unique employee value proposition will be communicated in a creative, distinctive manner that’s true to your corporate brand.
