people across the business.”
The Best Employer Brand on LinkedIn category recognises companies who focused on building a strong employer brand to engage with their audience in a meaningful way. The banks performance, its results and impact of the brand utilising the platform was analysed to determine how companies generate the most interest from job seekers and do the best job holding on to new talent. Categories that companies were selected on include interest, engagement, demand, and retention of talent.
