Design why Employer Branding matters to Human Resources by Joanne Bondin I have always found it interesting to look back and see how the outlook of people towards jobs and the job seeking process has changed over the years. The attitude of people seeking employment in the 1940’s was to find a job that would provide them with a standard of living that was ideally better than that of their parents. Then following the economic boom which generated an increase in available opportunities employees started not just seeking a job to earn a living but were also looking for meaning in their job. They wanted to contribute to society and sought to be motivated in their job. This led them to be more selec- tive on the job they chose to do. DESIGN&BUILD Q 2 , 2017 55
