This year, EBcon, our regional Employer Branding conference, gathered over 400 local and international practitioners together for a day of content focusing on Employer Branding Strategy and Activation. HR enthusiasts got a lot of inspiration from our twelve speakers, masterminds of branding, from different parts of the world, and the successful stories of the companies they represented.
Check out the big names on our EBcon 2023 agenda!
On the 11th of May, the fourth edition of EBcon, culminated with the 2023 Most Desired Employers Awards Gala. Companies, which demonstrated a strong dedication and accomplished their goal to build a ideal work environment and experience for their employees, were awarded in different sectors of the labour market. The proud winners in their fields of expertise are aware of the importance that employer branding has in not only obtaining, but also retaining top talent.
The Awards Gala was an ocassion to celebrate the employers that were the most desired according to our Most Desired Employers 2023 Survey. We could deduct from the 14,446 free and unassisted responses from both young career starters and professionals from Romania, from the fields of social sciences, business, engineering, and IT&C.
Nowadays talents tend to put very high importance on other benefits other than an attractive salary package: performance bonuses, work flexibility, office traditions, activities for team building, career advancement opportunities. All of them and more are expectations of the new generation of candidates, a benefit package that our most desired employers offer.
Therefore, we could deduct from the successful employer branding stories of the 2023 award winners,
- which benefits motivated the candidates to apply for the available positions?
- what made them remain in that work environment for the long-term?
Have a taste of how the Gala Awards atmosphere really feels like!
As the speakers of the day finished their networking session with the participants, they answered all their burning questions about employer branding strategies. They were generous enough to offer a variety of tips and tricks. In the meantime, the atmosphere begun to change in the room…
