The Cultural Fit Factor informs HR professionals and other business leaders that when and if an organization has carefully evaluated its belief systems and ensured that employees believe in the same principles and values, it can focus its energy and activity in powerful ways to achieve organizational goals. This must be articulated in clear, consistent terms. The organization must live its values. Employees, potential employers, customers, and vendors know if you mean it--their instincts and intuition tell them instantly if you mean what you say, and your actions show it. If your organization is unclear about its values, or not living them, an incongruence in your employer branding emerges, which undermines your recruitment and retention efforts. You may attract qualified candidates, but qualified candidates that don't mesh with your organization culture tend not to stay long. The Cultural Fit Factor demonstrates how companies with high employee value propositions attract talented, capable employees that fit into their organizations and how they politely but firmly repel those that don't. \Key Features of this Book: provides a critical discussion on how to increase the ROI of recruitment and retention; discusses the influence of sustainability on branding--especially to the younger talent pool; explores the impact of mergers and acquisitions on organizational culture; and includes a practical employment branding tool kit.
