Why Uncovering Your Competitive Differentiators is Key to Your Employer Branding

Why Uncovering Your Competitive Differentiators is Key to Your Employer Branding Uncovering your firm’s “competitive differentiators” could be the key to making your  Employer Branding Program truly standout! Each firm has differentiators. These differentiators will make all the difference to prospective new hire candidates (and internal employees). They can be “competitive hooks” to grab and re-attract candidates. You need to (regularly) unearth and uncover these doing external opinion surveys and in-house opinion surveys and questionnaires and a variety of other sources. When I was at was at Monsanto, I used to go into new hire orientation and conduct a mini “focus group”; I asked the new hires why they joined? what did they think of their new company? and etc.  New experienced hires are a first great source. I did the same thing on campuses when I participated in an exclusive Monsanto day panel discussion at a big ten Ag school. You can also discover them by opinion surveys administered in-house by your Training Development Department working in tandem with Human Resources. Also, your in-house Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) can be engaged to probe for these. Your alumni can also give insights into your “competitive differentiators”â€"provided, of course, you have set up an alumni communications process and have developed an alumni entry “portal” page on your internal career landing page.   As I alluded to slightly above, do not forget your Colleges and University recruits and relationships, namelyâ€"students, interns, co-op students, faculty, Career Services people, student clubs and associations, and etc. Set up (on-campus) meetings with all of these constituent groups and turn it into a “focus group”; probe for what they think of your company as a place to work and would they recommend their classmates to go there as well. Enlist the help and support of your summer interns and co-op students; get and record their comments. Also, after your gather their information and synch it up with your Employer Value Proposition and Employer Brand Programgo a step further and start to inculcate them about your firmâ€"as the “best place to work” or the “best place to start their career”. Lastly, put a College and Graduate School Campus Ambassador Program in placeâ€"offering some form of semester financial stipend and “branded” collateral material; this group could be a constant and automatically pipeline to how students feel about your firm and its Employer Brand.  Similarly, invite Professors and Faculty to your firm either individually or as a group for a day and create an entire day-long program extolling your firm. I have found Faculty most helpful in “steering” their best students our way based on “how great we are as a company”. Also, for your industry are there some universal and standard items that firms in your industry must uphold and have, above all else? I can think of one industry observed differentiatorâ€"“free air travel” for airlines employees. Admittedly, this is unique to airlines. (In fact, though, even airlines employees rarely if ever fly totally for free; even with their benefits, the taxes and fees alone â€" which include security fees, international fees, and fuel surcharges â€" can total hundreds of dollars on an international itinerary). You get my point. Differentiators can be such things as salary, benefits, work scheduling, culture, work environment, company values, mission, company location, and etc. Furthermore, examine how your differentiators which we can now label as competitive differentiators can differentiate you from your peer competitors. Also, do research to determine what your competitors “competitive differentiators are. Invest a lot of time in detailed research of all kind to uncover them. Established an (internal) market research function within Talent Acquisition; or hire an external research firm. Analyze their public information and websites to unearth their “competitive differentiator”   Hire away their people and do a focus group with them. Hopefully, your firm’s are better, if not set a plan to make them better. This market research is very important in keeping your EVP and Employer Brand as current as possible. And incorporate them in your “Employer Brand Architecture” for your main Employer Brand and in your Divisional (level) sub-brands for unique internal departments like engineering and IT. Remember, strong Employer Brands (and EVPs) use compelling differentiators to engage and inform their target audiences and promote the perception and reality of their firm asâ€"the place to work and grow and stay.

16 Ways Rookie Founders Can Prove Themselves and Their Brands - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

16 Ways Rookie Founders Can Prove Themselves and Their Brands - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career What is a quick way a young founder can demonstrate his or her thought leadership, despite not having veteran status in their industry? The following answers are provided by members of  Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC), an invite-only organization comprised of the world’s most promising young entrepreneurs. In partnership with Citi, YEC recently launched  BusinessCollective, a free virtual mentorship program that helps millions of entrepreneurs start and grow businesses. 1. Become a True Expert on a Small Subject As a young leader, it is hard to say you know everything. You can, however, become a true expert in something very specific and then share your knowledge of that topic through writing and public speaking. If you show you are an expert in one specific thing, people tend to think you are an expert at lots of things.   â€"  Murray Newlands,  Due.com 2. Take Every Opportunity to Share Your Passion Speak  at an event, create authoritative white papers, write in-depth blog posts,  share your thoughts on social media or write a book for self-publishing on Amazon.  Create one piece of authoritative content that can be reformatted for all of these different channels. Your presentation can be turned into a white paper, which can be turned into four blog posts, which can be turned into 40 social posts.   â€"  Kevin Getch,  Webfor 3. Be Willing to Share Details About Your Company The best presentations for me are those that share specific details about the tactical successes and failures of other companies. If you dont have a big name, it might be too early to hit TED with a high-level topic â€" The Future of Capitalism or some such example. Think instead about sharing the specifics you learned while getting your business off the ground. Hint: Universities are a great place to start.   â€"  John Rood,  Next Step Test Preparation 4. Publish a Book Even if only publishing electronically, being recognized as an author on a relevant topic is huge. It adds instant credibility. How often do you hear people being introduced as John Smith, author of ______? Doesnt it add an allure of wisdom? Today with ghost writers, e-publishing and online distribution, its never been easier, cheaper or quicker to be a published author.   â€"  Nicolas Gremion,  Free-eBooks.net 5. Use Meddle.it You dont have to create original content, but you can demonstrate original thought by curating your comments on the web with a tool like  Meddle.it. Meddle allows you to comment, share and curate your comments on the things you read on the web.  You can actually highlight any part of what you are reading and comment on it. You dont have to wait until the end of the article.   â€"Mike Ambassador Bruny,  No More Reasonable Doubt 6. Offer Tips, Perspective and Guidance Being a thought leader isnt just about sharing  what you know â€" its about helping people apply your insights,  knowledge and practical experience to their own circumstances. Find or create opportunities to offer  your unique intel  and advice to  targeted audiences of stakeholders  who  will not only appreciate it, but will actually utilize it. Doing so will help you earn their respect.   â€"Heather Schwarz-Lopes,  EarlyShares 7. Dont Be Intimidated Oftentimes, young talent can fear the experience of industry veterans. The reality is, as someone new to your  business, youre likely to bring your own fresh, progressive ideas, and have knowledge that veterans lack due to their inability to keep up with burgeoning technologies and new developments. Leverage those ideas; be confident, yet humble, and communicate thoughtfully.   â€"  Blair Thomas,  EMerchantBroker 8. Dont Be Afraid of Looking Like a Beginner Our team members share blog posts from all different levels of experience. Sharing the story  about how you just learned something new from a beginners perspective can be just as appealing  to some audiences as  an expert-level post. Be honest, open and authentic, and your insights will be valued.   â€"  Elisa Miller-Out,  Singlebrook 9. Get to Know the Veterans of Your Industry Get to know the veterans in your industry; be able to quote them by name and what theyve done. Your observation of the people who have made your industry what it is today will impress the harshest of critics. Furthermore, you can point out where the flaws are in the current system and how to solve them using outside examples.   â€"  Zoe Barry,  ZappRx 10. Understand Jargon But Use It Sparingly Every business has key phrases or abbreviations that you have to know in order to seem like an expert. But that doesnt mean you should use these all the time. Make sure you talk about your success in clear, straightforward language. Youll be respected as a thought leader when you can show that your ideas and hard work produce success â€" not by throwing around what you think are the right words.   â€"  Dave Nevogt,  Hubstaff.com 11. Create a Blog and Promote It on Social Media The best way for a young founder to demonstrate thought leadership is to create a blog.  Be sure to also focus on building up your social audience on Twitter and Facebook, so that you can push your blog articles to a large and relevant audience. To add fuel to the fire, consider hiring a PR team to help get you and your company get featured in media outlets.   â€"  Jordan Fliegel,  CoachUp, Inc. 12. Lay It on the Line Every Day You don’t know everything, and that’s OK. You have to talk about what you know and what you can do. Don’t try to imitate someone; just work on developing your own recipe for success. Say what you need to say, and if you don’t know something, look it up or ask for help. Above all, don’t forget that actions speak louder than words â€" let your success speak for itself.   â€"  Alfredo Atanacio,  Uassist.ME 13. Podcasts Go on podcasts, especially podcasts in your industry.  Podcasters are constantly on the hunt for compelling guests, and everyone likes an underdog. So if youve got a great story to tell, you can do so via podcasts.  Youll be surprised how many influencers listen to podcasts, and youll be able to cite them as proof points of why youre a thought leader.   â€"  Brian David Crane,  Caller Smart Inc. 14. Host a VIP Dinner Host an intimate dinner for your most VIP contacts and you immediately put yourself at, or even above, their level. You are the company that you keep, and having dinner with a handful of people you respect will both demonstrate your own thought leadership and will give you ideas to expand on your knowledge.   â€"  Christopher Kelly,  Convene 15. Rule the Comment Section A close second to having an article published is commenting on industry articles. By leaving a well-thought comment on an article, you can get visibility and open up valuable conversations. This is a free way to get your name out there and start building your personal brand.   â€"  Mike Seiman,  CPXi 16. Join a Club There are thousands of groups and communities out there for every business field imaginable. These allow you to voice your opinion in a tight-knit group of like-minded experts, and your thoughts will be well-respected and listened to. Plus, it will allow you to network with and learn from the veterans in your industry.   â€"  Elle Kaplan,  LexION Capital

Think about workplace diversity in terms of experience

Think about workplace diversity in terms of experience Just about every major business publication has run something about how diversity improves business performance. If you are on a diverse team, youll probably have more success than if youre on a homogenous team. And, to some extent, we can each control the teams were on. For one thing, you should pick companies to work for that have a diverse group of employees. You can also do what you can to build your own diverse teams. One way to think of diversity is race. A professor at the University of Chicago conducted a study about workplace racism in which he sent 5000 resumes to want ads in Boston and Chicago. He sent duplicate resumes, but changed the names. The names that sounded white (Emily Walsh) were fifty percent more likely to get a call back than a name that sounded African-American (Lakisha Washington). You are probably saying to yourself that you would never be racist at work. But that is probably not true. Because almost no one will admit to being racist, but a lot of it is unintentional, and its definitely not limited to the scope of that resume study. While youre busy denying that youre racist, consider that diversity is not all about race or gender, for that matter. I had an eye-opening experience when I wrote an article for the LA Weekly about medical issues for non-whites. I could not write minorities in the LA Weekly, because in LA, Hispanics outnumber whites. (Interesting side note, from the article: Many top doctors who study this topic are advocating separate but equal treatments for blacks and whites.) So, try thinking about diversity in terms of experience. Look for diversity in economic experience, in schooling, politics. The June issue of Harpers magazine ran a little piece about how living libraries that have taken place in Denmark, Hungary, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Portugal. The idea is that there are real people that you can borrow for an hour in order to explore your own prejudices and stereotypes. Here are some examples of the kinds of people you can borrow: Animal-rights activist, black person, bureaucrat, environmentalist, ex-football hooligan, ex-illiterate person, e-neo-Nazi, feminist, Jew, Muslim, priest, unemployed person, asylum seeker, blonde woman, disabled person, ex-drug abuser, ex-homeless person, ex-prisoner, gay person, lesbian, police officer, skateboarder, vegetarian. The charm of the list, of course, is that we each ask ourselves who we have the most prejudice against. For me, its the football player. Im not sure, frankly, that Ive ever talked to one for more than a couple of minutes. So maybe diversity you need to create in your work teams is as wide or as narrow as the kind of experience you are missing in your own life.
