Nadler-Tushman Congruence Model

It's based on the principle that a team or organization can only succeed when the work, the people
who do it, the organizational structure, and the culture all "fit" together

1. Work
Analyze the critical tasks that underpin your organization's performance from two perspectives –
what work is done and how it is processed.

Consider what skills or knowledge individual tasks require, whether they are mechanical or creative,
and how the workflows work. Identify approaches that work best – for example, quick, thorough,
empathic, analytical, precise, or enthusiastic – and the work's stresses and rewards.

 Tasks in employer branding involve defining the specific activities and initiatives to shape
and promote the organization's image as an employer of choice.
 This includes recruitment strategies, employee engagement programs, leadership
development initiatives, diversity and inclusion efforts, and employer value proposition
(EVP) development.
2. Culture
 Culture plays a crucial role in employer branding, influencing how employees experience
and perceive the organization.
 Organizations must foster a positive and inclusive culture that aligns with their employer
brand values and resonates with current and potential employees.
3. People
 People are at the core of employer branding, encompassing current and prospective
candidates.
 Organizations must focus on attracting, retaining, and engaging top talent by offering
compelling opportunities for growth, recognition, and development.
4. Structure
 Structure refers to the organizational design, systems, and processes supporting employer
branding efforts.
 This includes the HR function's structure, communication channels, decision-making
processes, and aligning HR practices with the organization's employer brand strategy.
5. Input
 In employer branding, inputs can include the organization's reputation, market position,
industry trends, and the labor market's perception of the company.
 Organizations must understand the external factors shaping their employer brand, such as
market demand for specific skills, competitor practices, and societal attitudes towards
work and employment.
6. Output
 Outputs in employer branding represent the outcomes and results of the organization's
efforts to shape its employer brand.
 This includes metrics such as employee satisfaction, retention rates, employer brand
perception in the market, and the organization's ability to attract and hire top talent.
Interrelation between components
1. **Task & Culture**:

- Its culture influences an organization's tasks to shape its employer brand. For example, if a
company values innovation and creativity, its employer branding tasks may include promoting a
dynamic and innovative work environment. Conversely, the culture is shaped by the tasks that
reinforce certain values and behaviors. An organization's emphasis on employee development may
create a continuous learning and growth culture.

2. **Task & People**:

- The tasks associated with employer branding directly impact how people perceive and engage
with the organization. For instance, recruitment strategies, onboarding processes, and employee
development initiatives shape the employee experience and affect their perception of the
organization as an employer. Similarly, the people within the organization, such as HR professionals
and managers, are responsible for executing these tasks and ensuring they align with the
organization's employer brand.

3. **Task & Structure**:

- The structure of an organization, including its HR function and communication channels,


influences how tasks related to employer branding are organized and executed. For example, a
decentralized organizational structure may empower local teams to customize employer branding
initiatives to fit their specific context, while a centralized structure may ensure consistency and
alignment across the organization. Conversely, the tasks associated with employer branding, such as
EVP development and employee engagement programs, may drive changes in the organizational
structure to better support these initiatives.

4. **Culture & People**:

- An organization's culture shapes its people's behaviors, attitudes, and interactions. For example, a
culture that values collaboration and teamwork may foster strong relationships among employees,
leading to higher engagement and productivity. Conversely, the people within an organization
contribute to shaping its culture through their actions, behaviors, and shared values. Leaders and
influencers play a particularly significant role in shaping and reinforcing the culture by role-modeling
desired behaviors and promoting cultural norms.

5. **Culture & Structure**:

- An organization's culture is influenced by its structure, as the organizational design and systems
shape how work gets done and how people interact with each other. For example, a hierarchical
structure may reinforce a command-and-control culture, while a flat organizational structure may
promote a more collaborative and egalitarian culture. Conversely, an organization's culture may also
influence its structure, as cultural values and norms drive decisions about organizational design,
policies, and processes.

6. **People & Structure**:


- The people within an organization interact within the framework provided by its structure. For
example, reporting relationships, decision-making processes, and communication channels defined
by the organizational structure influence how employees collaborate, share knowledge, and
contribute to the organization's goals. Conversely, the people within an organization may influence
its structure by advocating for changes that better support their needs and align with the
organization's values and objectives.
