HOW TO LEVERAGE GLASSDOOR REVIEWS (AND MORE) TO IMPROVE YOUR EMPLOYER BRAND 



Employee feedback is one of the most valuable tools you can use to build a
strong employer brand. Through avenues such as online reviews, Fishbowl
conversations, and internal surveys, you can tap into employee voice and guide
your employer branding efforts from an informed perspective. Employee voice
represents the authentic employee experience- it's what people really think and
feel about working at your company. 

Here are four examples of how companies use reviews to continually shape the
employee experience.

 1. Use Glassdoor reviews to validate internal surveys.
    
    Southwest Airlines (#86 on Glassdoor's Best Places to Work 2023 list)
    continues to work on ways to improve upon the employee experience, despite
    recent bouts with flight cancellations and customer service complaints. The
    company has used Glassdoor review data to validate anonymous, internal
    survey results. "If someone (writes) a Glassdoor review, they're doing that
    of their own volition," said Kelby Tansey, manager of recruitment marketing
    at Southwest Airlines. "So that's a great way for us to validate and direct
    some of our employee experience and employer brand content." Tansey
    indicates that it's an additional benefit to see different scores on
    Glassdoor for aspects such as benefits and work/life balance, which help
    guide their self-assessment.
    
    McDonald's Corporation uses Glassdoor reviews similarly. "We were able to
    use Glassdoor to validate a lot of what we were hearing through our
    surveys," said Kieran Layton, Field People Officer at McDonald's. "We (have
    been) able to use Glassdoor to benchmark as we went along our journey. If we
    saw something come up on Glassdoor that we hadn't seen before we could say
    hey, is this something we need to look into deeper?"

 2. Read and respond to Glassdoor reviews.
    
    Tansey said Southwest monitors its Glassdoor reviews and that the company is
    very intentional about which reviews its team responds to, how, and why. "We
    want our responses to be heartfelt," said Tansey. With feedback from reviews
    and surveys, Southwest creates an action plan for all departments based on
    identified strengths and weaknesses. "I think that's key," said Tansey. 



> "If you're only asking for feedback but not showing accountability on
> progress, you'll get a lower response rate. As a candidate is scrolling, if
> you have that heartfelt response, that's what they care about."

 3. Leverage Review Intelligence™.
    
    "Measuring employer brand when you have a company as big as McDonald's is
    really difficult," said Layton. "If you're looking to start your employer
    brand measurement work, Review Intelligence™ can be a great place to
    start." 


Review Intelligence is a tool that helps you understand, filter, and manage your
data on Glassdoor. With it, you can better shape the employee experience.

McDonald's sees monitoring employee voice through a tool like Review
Intelligence™ as a key part of their employer brand. "If you're not starting
with the voice of your employees, you're not starting on the right foot … no
matter where you are in your employer brand journey. We subscribe to (Review
Intelligence™) specifically for employee value proposition work - not just at
the outset of our journey, but as we started measuring. This helped establish a
baseline of what we would be tracking against," said Layton.


VCA Animal Hospitals also uses Review Intelligence™ to see if the company is
making progress on diversity or mental health and wellbeing initiatives. "I saw
that our diversity score went up in Glassdoor, which was great feedback. It also
shows us where there is work (yet) to be done," said Ally Brown, VCA Brand
manager for employer brand and recruiting.


> "The more you can use the voice of your (employees) the more transparent you
> will be."

 4. Adjust your recruitment strategy.
    
     Glassdoor helps job seekers peek inside and see what it's like to work at a
    company. This is one of the benefits of employer branding - showcasing your
    company to potential employees. "Glassdoor is one of our big partners when
    it comes to recruitment marketing," said Layton. "Glassdoor's 'Employee
    Sentiment' was part of our "voice of the employee" research.
