On this episode of Great Talent Great Business, Rob Levin chats with Alyssa Gelbard, founder and CEO of Point Road Group, about the power of employee branding. Alyssa breaks it down, explaining that employee branding is all about how a company’s people represent and promote the brand in everything they do—whether they’re interacting with clients, networking, or even just posting on LinkedIn.
Key Takeaway:
Employee branding isn’t rocket science, but it has a big impact. Alyssa Gelbard breaks it down—how your team represents your brand in emails, meetings, and LinkedIn matters more than you think.
