BEST CASE / INCREASING EMPLOYEE RETENTION WITH NEW INTERNAL COMMUNICATION FORMATS [ Dr. Christian Chua ] Dialogue Communication, KfW Group

Employee retention needs dialogue. That is why dialogue on an equal footing has become the new paradigm for internal communication. In his presentation, Dr. Christian Chua explains why companies need to switch and adhere to this new paradigm to become and stay employers of choice. He will show how establishing new communication formats that encourage exchange with the management board at the KfW Group has brought the bank’s employer value proposition to life. These formats will, eventually, change the character of corporations and increase employee retention.

WORKSHOP 1 / DEVELOPING AND ACTIVATING AN AUTHENTIC EMPLOYER VALUE PROPOSITION [ Graeme Wright ] Strategy Director, Havas People

A strong and engaging employer brand is the basis for successful recruitment and employee retention. But how can organisations develop a strategy and an employer value proposition that is authentic and reflects the company culture? What are practical steps in this process? And what does it take to activate an EVP in order to build an emotional connection with current employees and potential candidates? These are some of the questions that will be discussed in this session.

WORKSHOP 2 / MAKING YOUR JOB ADS STAND OUT [ Peter Schmitz ] Marketing Manager DACH, Indeed Deutschland GmbH

Job ads are one of the most important means of attracting candidates. But what does it take to create an ad that not only includes all the relevant information but also establishes your company as a great place to work? How do you become an employer of choice? And how do you make sure, your ad stands out? Find out in this interactive workshop.

PM

Companies and organisations spend millions every year creating brands. These changes happen usually because of shareholder or customer needs and opinions. Often businesses forget their most important audience, their employees. Without their buy in and understanding of the brand and it's promise, there would be no brand. In this rapidly changing, hyper-connected, social world, people want to belong to something that stands for something. How do you start a movement? How do you turn your employees into followers?
