Corporate Reputations, Branding and People Management

TRAMA

The book helps HR practitioners understand corporate-level concepts and their relevance to the key strategic agendas of organisations by drawing on a wide range of ideas from branding, marketing, communications, public relations and reputation management. It then examines how effective people management strategies and the role of HR specialist can contribute to this corporate agenda. This contribution lies in four key areas: organisational communications strategies, developing compelling employee value propositions and employer branding; HR strategies, employer of choice policies and talent management; creating new forms of psychological contracts and building stronger individual-organisational linkages through employee identification, employee commitment and psychological ownership; and in developing supportive employee behaviours. The book is based on a new model of the links between HR, corporate reputation and branding, developed from an extensive review and synthesis of different bodies of management literature. This model has been refined from extensive case research and practical experience in building corporate reputations and brands. Specially researched cases include Orange, Aegon, Scottish Enterprise, Hudson International, BSkyB, Standard Life Investments and the Royal Bank of Scotland. <BR>* Helps HR practitioners understand corporate-level concepts and their relevance to the key strategic agendas. <BR>* Use of case studies and examples helps the readers to put the theory into context and see how its applied. <BR>* Provides a practical guide to developing appropriate HR policies and practices.
