Techniques of Employer Branding

Techniques of Employer Branding vary from organization to organization. Fundamentally, Employees are the best resource to brand any organisation. Their constant feedbacks not only help the organisation to correct the neglected areas for improvement but also helps in retaining them as they feel special.

Most employer brand practitioners and gurus argue that effective employer branding and brand management requires a clear Employer Brand proposition, which extends to define, what the organisation would most like to be associated with as an employer; highlight the attributes that differentiate the organisation from other employers; and clarify the ‘give and get’ of the employment deal.

The signification of employer branding refers what and how employees are currently engaged with an organisation. In conditional term, it denotes the sum of a company’s efforts to communicate to existing and prospective employees that's makes it a desirable place to work, and the active management of a company’s image as seen through the eyes of its associates and potential hires.  The advisory team of professionals in the organisation with varying experience levels can support in such activities. Add employee testimonials, interviews and surveys in the company website. Organise training sharpen the skills, recognising and rewarding employees for their work.

The recent evolution of Social media changes the way of employer branding because it allows current employees and customers to engage themselves to cash branding propositions.

Employer brand management expands the scope of this brand intervention beyond communication to incorporate every aspect of the employment experience, and the people management processes and practices that shape the perceptions of existing and prospective employees. In other words, employer brand management addresses the reality of the employment experience and not simply its presentation. By doing so it supports both external recruitment of the right kind of talent sought by an organisation to achieve its goals, and the subsequent desire for effective employee engagement and employee retention.

Best Cooking Hints and Tips

Best cooking hints and tips are the foremost requirements to manage your kitchen with perfection. Various cooking tips, you have been followed via your Mom or other family members. Today, i am interested to share my personal experiences of managing kitchen that is also my best practice and which i intended to convey to my dear readers.

1. When boiling eggs, add a pinch of salt to keep the shells from cracking. 
2. When storing empty airtight containers, throw in a pinch of salt to keep them from getting stinky. 
3. If you are making gravy and accidentally burn it, just pour it into a clean pan and continue cooking it. Add sugar or milk to adjust the taste. The sugar will cancel out the burned taste. 
4. When cooking any kind of strawberry dessert, add a splash of aged Balsamic vinegar to the recipe to enhance the flavor of the strawberries.
5. To hull strawberries, use a sturdy plastic straw. Push it up through the bottom of the strawberry and through the top. It does a great job quickly and neatly. The berries look excellent if you want to leave them whole.
6. For a different flavor and less fat, use chicken stock instead of butter or milk when whipping up mashed potatoes.
7. Create your own colored sugar by placing granulated sugar in a plastic bag. Add a few drops of your favorite food coloring and shake to blend. Pour out into a plate and let dry, then use.
8. Try using raw spaghetti instead of toothpicks when securing stuffed chicken breasts and meats. It works great and it's edible. 
9. Ground spices really should be replaced every 6 months or so! Unless you know you will use them up fairly quickly, buy a bottle in partnership with a friend and split the contents. You'll each benefit from fresh spices.
10. Instead of the water your recipe calls for, try juices, bullion, or water you've cooked vegetables in. Instead of milk, try buttermilk, yogurt or sour cream. It can add a whole new flavor and improve nutrition.
11. When browning ground meat, brown several pounds and drain. Divide evenly in freezer containers and freeze. Unthaw in microwave for quick fixing next time.
12. Marshmallows won't dry out when frozen.
13. Fresh eggs shells are rough and chalky; old eggs are smooth and shiny.
14. Add a little lemon and lime to tuna to add zest and flavor to tuna sandwiches. Use cucumbers soaked in vinegar and pepper in sandwich instead of tomatoes. Use mustard instead of mayo to cut the fat and add a tang.
15. Steak Sauce With A Kick: Deglaze your frying pan (after searing your New York steaks) with brandy. Add two tablespoons of butter, a little white wine and a splash of Grand Marnier. Serve over steaks - you'll never use steak sauce again.
16. When baking and you need to "cut in" the butter, an easy way is to keep the sticks of butter in the freezer. When needed, use a cheese grater to grate the butter into fine pieces.
17. To get snowy white potatoes, add a teaspoon of vinegar or fresh lemon juice to the boiling water.
18. When making potato salad, add the dressing to warm potatoes for the best flavor. Once cooled, the potatoes will not absorb the dressing as well.
19. Slide a strand of unwaxed dental floss--one end wrapped around the forefingers of each hand--under fresh cookies to unstick them from a cookie sheet. Floss also makes a clean cut through a cake for layering. 
20. When mincing garlic, sprinkle on a little salt so the pieces won't stick to your knife or cutting board. 
21. If your cake recipe calls for nuts, heat them first in the oven, then dust with flour before adding to the batter to keep them from settling to the bottom of the pan.
22. Noodles, spaghetti and other starches won't boil over if you rub the inside of the pot with vegetable oil.
23. For extra smooth, well-mixed oil and vinegar salad dressing: Combine all ingredients in a screw top jar, add an ice cube and shake then discard what's left of the ice cube.
24. If you put onions in the freezer 15 minutes before you chop them, you'll reduce the spray of vaporized onion oils - which means your eyes won't tear when you cut the onions.
25. To prevent cream whipped ahead of time from separating, add one quarter teaspoon of gelatin to each cup of cream during whipping.
26. Brown gravy in a hurry with a bit of instant coffee straight from the jar... no bitter taste, either.
27. For a juicer hamburger add cold water to the beef before grilling (1/2 cup to 1 pound of meat).
28. To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
29. Don't throw out all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.
30. Before making popcorn on the stove or in an air popper, soak the kernels in water for 10 minutes. Drain the water, then pop as normal. The additional moisture helps the popcorn pop up quicker and fluffier with fewer “old maids.”

Key Difference between Manager and a Leader

To understand the key difference between a Manager and a Leader, you need to understand what these entities entails in terms of definition. Basically, Leaders and managers are two different terms that mostly coincides in terms of action. Leaders don’t require any managerial position to act as a leader. On the other hand, a manager can be a true manager only if they got the traits of leader in him.

A manager has to perform all five functions to achieve goals, i.e., Planning, Organizing, Staffing, Directing, and Controlling. Leadership is a part of these functions. Leadership as a general term is not related to manager-ship. A person can be a leader by virtue of qualities in him. For example: leader of a club, class, welfare association, social organization, etc. Therefore, it is true to say that, “All managers are leaders, but all leaders are not managers.”

To understand the true essence of leaders and managers, we need to classify both in terms of action like who does what in different situations.

Managers administer 

Leaders innovate

Managers demand 

Leaders command

Managers maintain 

Leaders develop

Managers focus on systems

Leaders focus on people

Managers strive for control 

Leaders inspire trust

Managers have short-term view 

Leaders have a long-term goal

Managers are focused on the bottom line 

Leaders are focused on potential

Managers imitate 

Leaders originate

Managers do things right

Leaders do the right thing

Managers state their position 

Leaders earn their position

Last but not the least, the leader is one who influences the behavior and work of others in group efforts towards achievement of specified goals in a given situation. On the other hand, manager can be a true manager only if he has got traits of leader in him. Manager at all levels are expected to be the leaders of work groups so that subordinates willingly carry instructions and accept their guidance. A person can be a leader by virtue of all qualities in him.

These are my own viewpoints, if you don't agree and want to add your interest within the line then tell me via comment as this Manager Vs. Leader is the all time favorite debate within business leadership so add your input to make it more vivid for interested readers.
