Today’s top companies have started to merge brand, customer, and employee experiences together in their Employer Brand. Gone are the days of them functioning separately and resulting in inconsistent company impact and execution. HR and marketing professionals have started to bridge and align Customer Experience with Employee Experience.

To help HR and marketing work together to keep consistency in employer brand, GoodSeeker @hellogoodseeker, has compiled these 5 top employee experience conferences that are a must attend for HR professionals and for marketing professionals.
