My guest this week is Charu Malhotra, a highly experienced global employer branding leader. In the interview, we discuss: • How employer branding is changing • Why EVPs tend to get overshadowed by other employer branding outputs • Joining up candidate experience, employee experience, employer brand and EVP • Moving culture and values from talk into action • Inclusion, belonging and psychological safety. • The importance of listening and two-way communication • The role of technology Subscribe to this podcast in Apple Podcasts
