SUCCESS STORY
After the 2008 financial crisis, trust in financial institutions was low. Committed to the immense positive social and economic impact it believed it could have, Lloyds Banking Group sought to create an employer brand to reflect that focus, as well as Lloyds’ investment in technology and digital banking. Highlighting the employee value proposition—“together we make it possible”—Lloyds leveraged LinkedIn to share employee stories to attract and engage the right candidates.

THE CHALLENGE
Creating a technology-forward employer brand
Lloyds’ investment in new technology and its commitment to digital banking meant the company needed to attract skilled people at all levels of experience. To do so, the talent acquisition, branding, and culture teams sought to change perception about the 250-year-old institution and build an employer brand that reflects its commitment to building a collaborative, agile, and fast-paced business.
THE SOLUTION
Employee advocacy
The team knew they’d need to attract individuals with new skills and experiences, individuals who might not have previously considered an opportunity at Lloyds or in the banking sector. Stories are shared directly by Lloyds’ employees using LinkedIn Elevate, the employee advocacy platform, and through Sponsored Content.
