In fact, the right employment message attracts the best candidates over and over again; candidates who could help your company reduce costs, improve productivity and increase revenue.

It is important for companies to learn how to examine HR through the branding lens.   During this Summit, Amanda Shewmake of NAS Recruitment Communications will lead a discussion on what employment branding is, why it is so important now, and how HR goes about building it. 

Additionally, Todd Straub from American Family Insurance and Jenny Medeke and Brenda Phebus from TDS will share with you their brands and the journey they took to get started!
