Corporate Alumni Networks

You know how your alma mater invites you to reunions, faculty presentations, online mentoring platforms, career events, networking opportunities, and happy hours? 

The strategy of engaging alumni has worked so well for higher ed that more and more companies are now investing in similar programs. Why are they investing in corporate alumni networks?

Here are some benefits:

• (Re)Recruiting Top Talent: Former employees already know the culture, products, and processes. By setting up alumni job boards, companies with alumni networks can proactively encourage top talent to "boomerang" back when the right opportunity arises. Also, alumni can recommend candidates from their networks they know will be a good fit.

• Drive Business Growth: Former employees now work across the industry. Staying relevant to them can lead to new partnerships, client referrals, and business collaborations at their current organization.

• Enhance Brand Loyalty & Reputation: Alumni shape how the company is perceived in the market. The more connected and appreciated they feel, the more positively they speak about the organization.
