The results of these surveys can then be used to improve the existing employer brand and how it is communicated. By gathering feedback from employees on a regular basis, companies can identify areas of improvement and make changes that will increase employee engagement and retention. This is particularly important in today’s job market, where the competition for top talent is fierce and companies need to do everything they can to retain their best employees.
