EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This project is initiated to assess the importance of Employer Branding in

the present market. The main motive of this project is to find out the whether

employer branding helps in attracting and retaining the employees or not?

The project methodology involved carrying out the descriptive

research. The main purpose of such studies is that of formulating a problem from

more precise investigation. The main emphasize in such studies is on the discovery

of ideas or insights.

In the findings it was observed that TCS & Wipro is the one of the best IT

companies because it maintains the quality, price and also it maintains good

relation with its customers & with its internal employees.

After analyzing the data which was collected it is found that at present TCS

has successfully penetrated the market. However, in the future the organization

may face stiff competition from other players like INFOSYS, WIPRO, and

SATYAM etc. and to handle the situation the organization needs to give more

emphasis on their Employer Branding.

Introduction

“Employer branding is the sum total of what

Employees think of an organization as an employer”

What is an employer brand?

An employer brand is a collection of ideas and beliefs that influence

the way current and potential employees view an organization and the employment

experience that organization is offering. It communicates the company's culture

and values and helps to ensure employees are passionate about, and fit in with, the

organizational culture to help move the company forward.

The employer brand covers all associations that employees or potential employees

have with the firm. This includes direct and indirect experience of dealing with the

firm. Like actual product branding companies have started to invest in Employer

Branding as employees are the internal customers of the firm. Organizations

around the globe are facing similar business challenges; the difficulty of attracting

talent and retaining quality employees, a lack of employee loyalty, increased

overseas competition, enhanced generational change and a

shortage of skilled candidates.

In turn, companies are increasingly being forced to compete on a global scale for

human resources and are struggling to understand how to position themselves and

make themselves desirable to future employees.

The last bastion of competitive advantage is really, how many better people do

you have than your competitors? So it makes sense that the next big thing that

organizations should be focusing on is how to be better at attracting the right

people, making sure you retain them and then better developing those people to

deliver on your business objectives and goals.

"If your employees love working for your company and buy into your employer

brand, they will be your best advertising." Nigel Barcham, Managing Director,

Robert Half ANZ.

What is an employer brand? What are the major factors at play that are influencing

the increased necessity for companies to develop and maintain employer brands?

How does an effective employer brand assist in the attraction and retention of

quality staff, particularly Generation Y? How do organizations research and

develop an employer brand that delivers results?

"You can pretty much say that anything an organization does will influence how

people view its employer brand, the employment experience that it is offering.

Therefore, the corporate brand supports and enhances the employer brand. For an

employer brand to be successful, it needs to incorporate more than just an

enhancement of recruitment communications or improved internal

communications. It should focus on the entire employment experience,

organizational personality, goals and values and reflect a true understanding of

what motivates current employees and the candidate market.

"I think it is really a case of most organizations not recognizing the fact that a

whole range of activity - from the way they communicate externally to the way

they communicate internally to the way they behave internally in developing an

organizational culture - actually does result in brand perceptions." James Wiggins,

Employer Branding Practice Manager, TMP Worldwide Australia. "If you are not

living the brand values internally then it is very hard to build the brand externally."

Tim Pethick, Founder, Nudie Juice.

There is a keen awareness in today's marketplace that talented individuals have

more career choice than ever before, and that finance professionals are demanding

more career progression, greater salary advancement, excitement and new

challenges, and will hold their employers to account on promises and commitment.

In this way employer branding is more than a rational idea, it is an emotional

relationship between an organization and its employees. Therefore, successful

employer branding reflects an organization’s aspirations but is firmly based on the

ability to deliver on the promise.

"If you can sell people the opportunity and show that you can deliver on that

opportunity, then they are willing to take that risk and join you. People are really

striving for challenges and opportunities today." Stephen Taylor, Director of

Financial Support Services, Smiths Aerospace.

1.1 Statement of the problem

This study is conducted with a special motive to find out the importance of

“Employer Branding” in today’s competitive market scenario.

How an employer can be branded so that the potential employees get

attracted.

How an employer retain its best employees in order to meet the challenges

of competitive market.

How to attract great talent forever is a big concern for most of the

organizations in the present scenario.

1.2 Relevance of the study

Organizations with a strong employer brand don’t need to

fight for candidates in a tight labour market. Employer branding is the

marketing tool that delivers the benefits of any total rewards strategy. Employer

branding and total rewards have a wonderfully symbiotic relationship — the more

effective the branding, the greater the perceived value of any given reward

component within (or consistent with) that brand. So when the objective is to

maximize your organization’s equity by attracting, retaining and motivating the

right employees, as an employer it pays to focus on your brand.

First, a strong employer brand helps to differentiate your organization

within an increasingly competitive employment market. By earning a reputation

for sustaining the same values internally as your brand promises externally, or

simply by creating a highly recognizable internal brand, potential employees are

predisposed to give increased weight to your company’s intangibles when

seeking employment or considering an offer. The other side of this positioning is

that your brand as an employer serves as a talent self-selection tool. When an

organization’s expectations and commitments are well articulated, there is a much

greater potential for cultural fit to be appropriately self-assessed before a candidate

ever presents himself.

Second, the trend to outsourcing various components of your total

rewards strategy makes those rewards more generic. Employer branding is the way

to differentiate them. Within the context of a strong employer brand, individual

7

Page 8: Final ReportSTUDY OF EMPLOYER BRANDING IT SECTOR (TCS & WIPRO) THROUGH THE EYES OF POTENTIAL EMPLOYEES

reward components take on the attributes of the bigger picture and the whole

package becomes a unique offering.

Third, a well-managed employer brand not only helps to define

the parameters of an effective total rewards strategy, it facilitates the

implementation of individual components. The objective of continually

strengthening the employer brand may provide a clear indication of what needs to

be added or changed within the total rewards package. Then when it’s time to

implement something new, the strength of the internal brand may greatly assist in

characterizing the initiative as being of value to the employees.

Outcome of effective employer branding

Thus, Employer branding gives an organization a competitive advantage.

Employer branding is a tool to attract, hire, and retain the "right fit it also has an

impact on shareholder value, creating positive human capital practices, contribute

to bottom-line.

Strong employer brands have employer value propositions (EVP's) which are

communicated in company actions and behaviors and evoke both emotive (e.g. I

feel good about working here) and tangible benefits (this organization cares about

my career development) for current and prospective employees. These

organizations segment and communicate EVP's which reflect the image that the

organizations want to portray to its target audience. A company's employer brand

is reflected in the actions and behaviors of leaders and is affected by company

policies, procedures, and practices and the same when well planned and

implemented results in profitability of organizations.

Indian employees are found more frequent in shifting from one job to

another.

4.3 Limitations

Time was less for interviewing the potential employees regarding

“Employer Branding”.

Many of the potential employees were not clear about the concept of

“Employer Branding”.

There were few who did not give any answer to questions asked to them.

There were few who listen first time about “Employer Branding” from me.

I have to describe them about what “Employer Branding” is all about before

ask the questions.

Summary and conclusion

5.1 Suggestion

Employer needs to give more importance on “moment of truth” to improve

their Employer Branding.

Employer needs to provide certain facilities (schools, medical, drinking

water etc.) to the society.

Employer needs to maintain its moral, ethics and responsibilities towards

environment, society as well as country as a citizen of this country.

Try to create personal touch with employees by giving them rewards in the

occasion of company’s success.

Sponsor some events that can reach your message you want to give to your

target group.

The most powerful tool is word-of-mouth by using employees as

Ambassadors of the company.

Employer can use the web wisely to reach the target segment and provide

information about the company which ultimately helps in branding.

5.2 CONCLUSION

Thus it can be concluded that not only there is a need of creating a

satisfaction in minds of employees (Internal customers) but there is an urgent need

of creating this positivism in the minds 0f external customers and stakeholders.

The created image has to be monitored and sustained in such a way so that it will

help in increasing profits as well as would create belongingness, pride, self

actualization and true commitment in true words and spirit.
