    ArbetsgivarvarumĂ€rket (eng: employer branding) har de senaste Ă„ren kommit att bli en viktig strategisk företagsledningsfrĂ„ga för mĂ„nga organisationer och jag har dĂ€rför valt att fördjupa mig inom detta omrĂ„de. Definitionen för arbetsgivarvarumĂ€rket enligt Backhaus och Tikoo (2004) Ă€r ”A targeted, long-term strategy to manage the awareness and perception of employees, potential employees, and related stakeholders with regards to a particular firm”. Denna uppsats kommer att fokusera pĂ„ extern kommunikation gentemot nuvarande och potentiella medarbetare, i förhĂ„llande till dess arbetsgivarvarumĂ€rke. Jag har identifierat nĂ„gra viktiga komponenter för att bygga upp ett starkt arbetsgivarvarumĂ€rke och betydelsen av att anvĂ€nda mĂ„nga olika kommunikationskanaler sĂ„ att externa intressenter enklare ska förstĂ„ vad organisationen erbjuder. Jag har kommit fram till slutsatsen att karriĂ€rmöjligheter och möjligheten till personlig utveckling Ă€r den viktigaste delen i att bygga ett starkt arbetsgivarvarumĂ€rke, följt av en identitet med tydliga vĂ€rderingar och vision. Jag har Ă€ven identifierat att ett starkt arbetsgivarvarumĂ€rke ökar lojaliteten och engagemanget hos nuvarande anstĂ€llda och potentiella anstĂ€llda, vilket i sin tur leder till ökad effektivitet. Resultaten kommer frĂ„n en kvalitativ fallstudie pĂ„ IKEA Components samt IKEA Retail Sverige.Employer branding has in recent years become an important strategic business issue for many organizations and therefore interesting to examine. The definition of employer branding according to Backhaus och Tikoo (2004) are "A targeted, long - term strategy to manage the awareness and perception of employees, potential employees, and related stakeholders with regards to a particular firm". This thesis will mainly focus on external communication to current and prospective employees, in relation to building a strong employer brand. I have identified a few key components to build a strong employer brand, and also the importance of using many different communication channels to external stakeholders to make it easier to understand what the culture of the organization offers. Among the importance of a strong employer brand is that people in search for work are presented with more information and options than ever before, through different channels and it is therefor necessary to stand out to current and potential employees as many employers often are competing for the same talent. My conclusions are that career opportunities and the possibility to personal development is the most important part in building a strong employer brand, followed by having a distinct identity with strong values and a clear vision. I have also identified that a strong employer brand is increasing the loyalty and commitment of current and future employees. The results come from a qualitative case study at IKEA Components and IKEA Retail Sweden
