There’s a saying that a company is only as good as its last hire, and perhaps there’s more to this than meets the eye.
Imagine the number of platforms that disgruntled employees can use to share bad experiences or horror stories about your company.
This is more than employer branding. It has something to do with employee empowerment – how employees are led and whether they feel valued, respected, and heard.
In the era of the internet and organizational transparency, the things employees say about your company have a tremendous impact on how the business is viewed in the market.
Luckily, this is a fixable issue that begins with proper leadership.
And as Simon Sinek once said, “At well-led companies, people talk about the strength of the values. At poorly led companies, people complain about the pay & benefits.”
