XISHUANGBANNA, China<\/span>, Dec. 8, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — As global competition for talent intensifies, organisations are increasingly elevating employer branding from a recruitment-focused activity to a core strategic capability.

The 2025 Employer Branding Creativity Awards concluded successfully in Xishuangbanna on December 1<\/span><\/span>. Hosted by the Employer Branding Institute, and supported by BusinessWeek\/Chinese Edition, Xiaoguo and Lockin China<\/span>, the Awards received 1,831 submissions from 534 organisations across the technology, finance, consumer goods, manufacturing, healthcare and service sectors. Participating organisations included Mercedes-Benz, AstraZeneca China<\/span>, Bosch China<\/span>,\u00a0L’Or\u00e9al China, Marriott International and H&M, among others.<\/p>\n

The international jury panel comprised leading employer-branding experts including Richard Mosley<\/span>, Ali Ayaz<\/span> and Barbara Zych<\/span>, alongside cross-disciplinary leaders from marketing, public welfare and business media. Using the Institute’s “4+1” evaluation framework \u2014 Content Operation, Creative Design, Communication Strategy, User Experience plus an additional targeted criterion \u2014 the panel selected 160 outstanding entries representing 74 organisations.<\/p>\n

Ms Ocean Fu, Founder of the Employer Branding Institute, said: “Over the past nine years, we have seen employer branding shift from storytelling to trust-building. In a workplace reshaped by AI, efficiency accelerates, yet understanding between people and organisations takes more time. Algorithms may optimise processes, but they cannot build trust. True employer branding helps employees understand and navigate change, rather than simply polishing it.<\/i>” She continued: “As AI restructures workflows, the value of employer branding lies in helping each employee find their place. Real brand vitality does not come from packaging, but from understanding people. We hope more organisations will move beyond efficiency-driven practices to cultivate ecosystems of trust \u2014 where employees of diverse generations and backgrounds feel genuinely seen and supported.<\/i>“<\/p>\n

This year’s entries highlighted several notable shifts: a growing emphasis on employee-experience design; increasing adoption of AI-enabled communication; organisational culture becoming central to employer-brand storytelling; and rising cross-department collaboration in content creation.<\/p>\n

The newly introduced Achievement Award recognised excellence in organisational talent strategy. Honourees included teams from Lianjia, BEIJING<\/span> FANUC<\/span>, Bosch China,\u00a0Greentown China Holdings Limited<\/span>, Marriott International <\/span>and Mercedes-Benz.<\/p>\n

The organisers announced plans to expand international participation and strengthen global exchange mechanisms for the 2026 edition. Registration for the 2026 Awards will open in May 2026<\/span>.<\/p>\n
