Here is the third step and a list of practical actions you can implement now to achieve this:

Strengthen Your Employer Brand and Talent Pipeline

• Showcase Company Values: Promote a strong company culture that emphasises innovation, collaboration, and employee well-being. Highlight your company’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
• Share Success Stories: Regularly feature employee success stories, company achievements, and impactful projects on social media, blogs, and recruitment platforms.
• Leverage Employee Advocacy: Encourage employees to share their experiences on social media or employer review sites like Glassdoor. Authentic testimonials can resonate more deeply with potential recruits.
• Internship Programs and research collaborations: Build relationships with universities and offer internship opportunities to students. Interns are often future full-time hires, so bringing them in early ensures you’re tapping into fresh, innovative talent.
• Get involved in and contribute to industry events: Contributing to supporting or even hosting industry events is a great way to raise the company profile amongst those you might wish to attract. Round table, social events, speaking engagements, hosting membership organisation events etc can all help your reach prospective employees.
