Aligning Personal Brand With Corporate
 
Brand
Prof.Dr. HubertRampersad
 President, Personal Branding 
University
Miami, Florida,
USA
Aligning personal brand with the corporate brand has an impact on the organizational bonding of the
emplo
y
ees
.
 
T
his
energizes them and gives them the proud feeling that they
c
oun
t
,
that they are
appreciated
as human beings and
tha
t
they make a useful and valuable
contribution
to the organization. Employees are stimulated in this way to commit
and
focus on those activities that create value for 
clien
ts
.
 
This
will create a strong
f 
ounda
tion
of peace and stability
upon
which creativity and growth can flourish, and life within the company
will
 become a more harmonious
e
xperienc
e
.
 
T
his
has an
important
impact on employee
engagemen
t
.
Lack of 
engagement
is
endemic
,
and is causing large and smallorganizations all over the world to incur excess
c
osts
,
under perform on critical
tasks
,
and create
widespread customer 
dissa
tisfac
tion.
I
ncr 
easingly
,
successful companies are
 beginning
to recognize that good brand relationships with their employees
ar 
e
more
important
than good brand relationships with their 
cust
omers
.
 
They
understand
that employees should be
happ
y
first in order to make the customers happy and that corporate brand loyalty starts with
emplo
y
ee
’
s
 
engagemen
t
.
 
T
his
can be realized by aligning the
emplo
y
ee
’
s
brand with the corporate
 br 
and
.
 
This
article proposes a successful
method
t
o
realize
this
.
Alignment is
needed
 because staff members
don
’
t
work with devotion or expend energy on
something
they do
not
 believe in or agree with.
If 
there is an effective match
 between
their interests and those of the
c
ompan
y
,
or 
if 
their 
v
alues
and the
c
ompan
y
’
s
values align, they
will
 be
engaged
and
will
work with greater 
commitment
and dedication
t
o
w
ar 
ds
realizing the company
objec
tiv
es
.
Identification with the corporate brand is the most
important
motive for them
t
o
dedicate themselves actively to the corporate objectives and to maximize their 
 pot
en
tial
.
When your personal brand iscompatible with your 
c
or 
 pora
t
e
’
s
brand and combined in the best interest of both
 par 
ties
,
the results
will
 be higher 
 br 
and
equit
y
,
brand
loyalty,
and happy
stakeholders
.
Doing work related to your personal and corporate brand that is
in
t
er 
est
-
ing
,
exciting and provides learning
opportunities
has become a key personal
dr 
iv
er 
.
 
T
he
emphasis here lies in
in
tr 
insic
motivation.
I
n
tr 
insic
motivation is inherently pleasurable and it arises from within; most people do
something because
they enjoy doing it and love
it.
People work harder and better when they perceive that they are treated as human
 beings
and when they do interesting and challenging

Humans are social
animals
.
 
From time immemorial history is replete with a plethora of examples of how humans
interacted
with
family,
small
g
r 
oups
,
society
,
country and the world at large to
tr ansac
t
his
 business
.
 
While
these social contacts are salutary to building health
net
w
or 
ks
,
others have
used
them to build tension, conflict and anxiety in our 
dealings
.
 
While
interacting with a global village
w
e
observe how the multi-faceted
technology
and
communication
expansions have
 brought
us veryclose to each other redefining the old
 boundar 
ies
.
I
n
these ever increasing social interactions it has become clearer that myriad of everyday
in
t
er 
ac
tions
 between
 people have led to the creation of social
capital
.
We cannot say with any certainty where it is
loca
t
ed
.
Some surmise that it may be located within the individual person or within the social
struc
-
tur 
e
.
But deeper research has shown us that it is located in the space
 between
 people
.
 
T
her 
ef 
or 
e
it is
not
the prerogative of any
government
or social institution but is based on the interactions of 
humans
with other humans based on principles of 
trust
,
mutual reciprocity and norms of 
action.
While
the
f 
ounda
tions
of a multi-cultural ethos could be laid using tolerance and
civility, I
 believe
tha
t
we should reach a stage where we
understand
and feel for other humans even without express
c
om
-
munication, a level
I
 believe is possible

.
 
T
he
norms that
constitute
social capital can

ange
from a norm of reciprocity
 between
two
fr 
iends
,
all the way up to complex and elaborately
ar 
ticula
t
ed
doctrines like Christianity or Confucianism.
They
must be
instantiated
in an actual human
r 
elationship:
the norm of reciprocity exists in
 potentia
in my dealings with all
 people
,
but is actualized only in
m
y
dealings with my
fr

.
 
By
this definition,

civil

and the like which have
 been
associated with social capital are all
epiphenomenal

An
