Is it not the reputation of the company in the industry/ field? When linked to employment and Human Resources, I believe that employer with good industrial relations gains 'brand'. Let us wait for more inputs.

Dear Saloni,
Although you have put up a very simple question that what is a "Employer Brand" ?
In my opinion you cann't decide the "employer brand" by just the reputation of the Organisation having in the market.
It can be judged only when you are working with the Organisation.
It depends upon the Standards of system company is having and the also Ofcourse as rightly said by Mr. Madhu is "Industrial Relation".

Employer's brand is not just image of his brand .reputation of company in industry.
most imp part of employer branding is linked with Employees of the that company.
i.e. image of company in the mind of existing employees and external potential ppl.
Employer branding shows very strong link b/w marketing and HR, here two professional work together to make company really sucessful not only interms of good marketing, advertising, and selling but also showing and interms of Company's value, belief, culture and Recruitment, care for employees.

so, in simple terms: defination of employer branding can be,
Employer branding is the development and communication of an organization's culture as an employer in the marketplace. It conveys your "value proposition" - the totality of your culture, systems, attitudes, and employee relationship along with encouraging your people to embrace and share goals for success, productivity, and satisfaction both on personal and professional levels.

Hi,
If I have to answer this in nutshell, I would say, How do your key stakeholders view your Employer Brand, specifically current and perspective employees and what can be done to promote your business as a great place to work?
Attracting, hiring and retaining people are the biggest challenges for the talent management of the day. For this to happen it is equally important to develop value propositions for jobs to attract talent sufficiently. Employee value proposition means creating a balance of rewards and recognition in return to an employee’s performance at workplace and thi sits on top of your employer brand (Branding exercise). It is a people centered approach that is directed to existing employees and integrated manpower planning strategies because it comes from existing employees themselves. It must be original, unique, compelling and strategically directed to a talent pool.

Hi,
Employer branding has played an increasingly important role in attracting and retaining talent. A strong employer brand means that the organization is a desirable place to work in the perceptions of current and potential employees.
A recent research by Business Insider showed that about 51% of companies have a working employer brand strategy in place. According to LinkedIn Global Recruiting Trend 2016, 59% of talent leaders are investing more in their employer brand compared to last year.
Why does employer branding matter?
[IMG]http://vnmanpower.com/upload_images/images/Blog/employer-branding.jpg[/IMG]
More than attracting talent, a strong employer brand brings a lot of benefits to your organization:
- Makes your company stand out in the global talent war
- Boosts current employees' engagement
- Retains top performers and reduces the cost of employee turnover
- Increases satisfaction of customers, shareholders, and other partners
Employer branding is becoming a competitive advantage to differentiate companies. Google, Microsoft, and American Express are 3 out of the 10 best multinational workplaces for 2015 ranked by Great Place to Work. Google also won the No.1 position on Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work for in 2015.
Who should be in charge of the employer branding strategy?
A successful employer branding strategy needs the key involvement of C-level executives, human resources, and marketing. Of course, it never works without the proactive involvement of current employees.
From every perspective, an employer brand must align with the organization's culture and core values. To get started, it requires the orientation of top-level managers in the organization's hierarchy. The core values are translated into the company's policies, strategies, and daily activities of employees, who are the most effective brand ambassadors of each organization. Put simply, employee experience is the key to employer branding. The direct participation of human resources in every single stage of the employee lifecycle is the reason why HR plays a crucial role in employer branding.

Beautiful insights by most of the contributing members, as expected from our learned friend Madhu at the outset! Since the question seems to be more academic, and some of the useful answers are very elaborate, let me try to present my understanding of the concept of "Employer Branding" in simple terms.
If employer branding is a process involving several cyclical steps, the employer brand is the identity of an organization as an employer of choice. It is similar to a "product brand". Just as the sustained brand value of a product determines its continued success, the value of an employer brand determines its "people advantage" by both retaining internal talents and acquiring new talents from outside. This is only possible when the organization, as an employer, establishes an identity or image that is true, credible, relevant, distinctive, and aspirational.
Through talent acquisition and retention, the ultimate goal of employer branding is to stimulate business growth and achieve strategic business goals. This is how new titles and positions like "Chief Talent Officer" have emerged. Attracting and retaining the right talent has become a key organizational capability, shifting the industry focus from short-term recruitment to long-term employer branding.
The unique identity created by the organization, aligning the needs and expectations of top talents with organizational goals, is collectively known as its Employer Value Proposition (EVP). In practice, a successful employer branding project will meet important criteria such as spearheading the initiative by senior leadership, maintaining a collaborative relationship between HR, marketing, and corporate communications, and ensuring effective employee participation in every part of the process through internal activation. After all, people are the best ambassadors of any brand!
