If you don’t already have a number of Gen Y employees, you will soon (like it or not).  Many are in the workplace already and even more are on their way.  Although many will soon become your most valuable assets they bring with them a different set of life experiences and different expectations for the employer/employee relationship.

Know it or not, your organization also has an internal brand, which is a mixture of a lot of buzz words like “employment brand,” “organizational culture,” “organization values,” “vision,” and other buzz-worthy stuff.  We prefer to wrap it up into one buzz phrase (internal brand)…essentially, your internal brand is how you talk about what you believe and how you walk it.

An internal brand represents and further builds onto a strong external brand.  Your external brand is certain to lose power if your consumer’s experience does not stay in line with your brand promise - and it won’t if your internal brand doesn’t mesh with your external brand.  How do you strengthen your internal brand?  Great question!

Strong internal brands are built through proven organizational development techniques with a focus on how it relates to and values the external brand, consumers, and employees.  Without alignment to the external brand and employees, even the best tactics will not be enough to sustain a strong internal or for that matter, external brand.

If your external brand is geared toward Generation Y or if you have Generation Y employees, it is important you understand how to best develop training and policies that will enhance your overall brand experience internally and externally.
