UnitedHealth Group Implements Potential Point™ to Measure Employer Brand Behavior

Chicago, Illinois (June 15, 2010) – Vocii™ and Brand Integrity, Inc. are proud to announce a new client to their shared roster: UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH), a Fortune 21 company whose mission is to help people live healthier lives.

UnitedHealth Groups’ Recruitment Services team selected Vocii and Brand Integrity for their ability to recognize an unmet need: effective management and measurement of on brand behavior as it relates to the Group’s employer brand: There’s Something Greater at Work Here.

Through Potential Point, a performance management solution that aligns employee behaviors with brand values and business strategy, the team now has the ability to monitor, measure, track and report real-time results to leadership as it positively reinforces its brand message among candidates in the employment market.

The "Great 2 Greater Than" On Brand Behavior program will launch June 23, 2010. Participants in the pilot program include Recruitment Services Leaders, Managers, Recruiters and other Human Resources team members responsible for delivering exceptional candidate experiences while also achieving vital business objectives.

UHG_Custom_DashboardHeather Polivka, Director of Employment Marketing stated: “We’re very excited about Potential Point and impressed with its ability to drive results that include greater visibility for our brand and employee value proposition. The reality of being able to gauge our teams' performance through behaviors directly tied to business outcomes is Brand Management 3.0. Think Facebook for brand and performance management. The more employees see managers and peers being recognized and appreciated for going above and beyond, the greater the likelihood that others will want their stories told and repeat best practices. The domino effect for this application has no bounds."

UnitedHealth Groups' Recruitment Services team has developed an extensive employer brand strategy including a strong presence on social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Heather reiterated: “Everything we do is motivated by our values, mission and business goals. We want candidates get to know us better on their terms. Today, as an authentic part of the conversation, we’re not only improving relationships and brand visibility, we're decreasing costs and creating an experience. Potential Point will help us consistently educate our employees as to how they can reinforce the on brand experience and employee value proposition because we're living it by example."
