Drewbie Wilson • August 31, 2022

"An EVP can be a powerful tool for attracting and retaining top talent, and it can help your organization to achieve its business goals."

Are you looking to improve your employee value proposition? Or, are you wondering what an employee value proposition (EVP) is in the first place?


In today's competitive business world, more and more companies are looking for ways to stand out from the crowd and attract the best talent because they understand that their success depends on it.


And in this blog post, I will define what an employee value proposition is and explain how you can create one that will help you attract and retain top talent.


So what exactly is an employee value proposition?


An employee value proposition is a statement that outlines the benefits and perks that an organization offers to its employees. It is designed to attract and retain top talent.


The best EVPs are clear, and concise, and offer a unique value that sets the organization apart from its competitors. And most importantly, an EVP must be aligned with the company's culture and values.


Most organizations have an employee value proposition (EVP), but few know how to use it effectively. When properly developed and implemented, an EVP can be a powerful tool for attracting and retaining top talent.


And yet, many organizations fail to leverage their EVP to its full potential because they don't understand how to create an effective one.


There are three key elements to an effective EVP:


1. A clear articulation of what the organization has to offer its employees.

2. A strong alignment with the organization's business strategy.

3. A focus on creating a unique and differentiated employee experience.


If your organization does not have a clear and compelling EVP, now is the time to develop one. Here are a few tips to get you started and help you create an EVP that will set your organization apart:


1. Define what makes your organization unique

What sets your organization apart from others in your industry? What do you offer that your employees cannot find anywhere else? What are your organization's core values and how do they guide your business decisions?


It is important to have a clear and concise answer to these questions before you can begin to develop an EVP because your EVP should be a reflection of what makes your organization unique.


2. Identify your target audience

Who are you trying to attract with your EVP? Are you looking for entry-level employees straight out of college? Or, are you targeting experienced professionals who are looking for a new challenge? Once you have identified your target audience, you can begin to develop an EVP that will resonate with them.


3. Conduct employee research

One of the best ways to develop a strong EVP is to talk to your employees and get their feedback. What do they like about working for your organization? What are their pain points? What motivates them? What would make them leave your organization?


Conducting employee research will give you valuable insights that you can use to develop an EVP that resonates with your employees and helps you retain top talent.


4. Align your EVP with your business strategy.

Your EVP should be closely aligned with your organization's business strategy. It should articulately describe how your organization creates value for its employees and how they can contribute to the success of the business.


5. Create a unique and differentiated employee experience.

Your EVP should go beyond simply offering a competitive salary and benefits package. It should focus on creating a unique and differentiated employee experience that meets the needs and expectations of your employees.


6. Communicate your EVP internally and externally.

Once you have developed your EVP, make sure to communicate it widely throughout your organization. Post it on your website, include it in your job postings, and make sure your employees are aware of the benefits and perks that your organization offers.


In addition to communicating your EVP internally, you should also make sure to promote it externally. Include it in your marketing materials, social media posts, and job descriptions to attract top talent to your organization.


The development and implementation of an effective EVP can be a challenge, but it is well worth the effort.


So, what are you waiting for? Start developing your EVP today and see the benefits that it can bring to your organization.
