Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera företaget ÅF:s employer branding-arbete, närmare bestämt samverkan mellan ledningen, HR-avdelningen och marknadsavdelningen.Uppsatsen är av kvalitativ fallstudiekaraktär ochämnar utveckla teori genom en kombination av en deduktiv och induktiv undersökningsansats. Insamlad data är baserad på intervjuer medrepresentanter på ÅF.Sammanfattningsvis har vi kommit fram till att ÅF:s samverkan inom employer branding-arbetet i stort överensstämmer med den teoretiska modell som presenteras.

I dagens samhälle råder ett överutbud av produkter på marknaden där varje företag febrilt kämpar om att fånga kundens uppmärksamhet. Då modebranschen snurrar allt snabbare och kunden förväntar sig nya plagg i butik varje vecka, har en stark varumärkesidentitet visat sig vara av allt större betydelse .
