This month, Rob discusses the top branding trends of 2011

In no particular order, here's what those of us who help companies identify and manage their employer brand—have seen in 2011.

1. Leadership is getting involved
It used to be that any employer brand project started and stopped in the talent acquisition department with little participation from or exposure to company leadership. That's changed. Executive sponsorship is the norm and the expectation is that leadership not only supports the engagement but participates in it as well.

What's Your Measuring Stick?

It's that time of year again. The time when we all take a moment (and really, probably not more than a moment) to reflect on the past year and everything we've accomplished.
