The Importance of Employer Branding, within your Employee Value Proposition, EVP

“Are you ready to revolutionise the way you can build your brand from the inside out?”, asks Stephanie Corking – Director of People Strategy and Jonathan Pearson - CEO at BluZinc

In today’s competitive market, it’s no longer enough to focus solely on external branding. Your employees are the backbone of your business, and their alignment with your brand values is crucial for success. Having a strong Employee Value Proposition (EVP) in place can work wonders for your organisation. It serves as the foundation of your employer brand, shaping the way potential candidates perceive you and influencing their decision to join your team. But it doesn’t stop there – an EVP also plays a crucial role in inspiring and motivating your existing employees, boosting their morale and ultimately leading to higher retention rates.

What makes up an effective Employer Value Proposition…

• Brand Story?

• Mission Statement?

• Values?

• Competency Based Performance Management System?

• Recruitment Attraction Plan / activities?

• Employee Retention Plan / activities?

• Career Path?

• Compensation and Benefits?

When crafting your EVP, it’s important to align it with your company’s values, mission, and vision. This ensures that you attract individuals who resonate with your organisational culture and are passionate about contributing to its success. By showcasing what sets you apart as an employer, you create a compelling narrative that not only attracts top talent but also fosters a sense of pride and belonging among your current workforce.?

Imagine a workforce that embodies your brand values and delivers exceptional customer experiences with every interaction?

A well-defined EVP can have a profound impact on recruitment efforts. It acts as a magnet, drawing in individuals who are not only qualified for the job but also share the same values and aspirations as your organisation. When candidates see that they can be part of something greater than just a job, they become more engaged throughout the hiring process.?

Furthermore, an EVP has the power to improve employee retention rates. By clearly communicating what makes your company unique and why employees should stay committed, you create an environment where individuals feel valued and fulfilled in their roles. This sense of purpose leads to increased job satisfaction and loyalty towards the organisation.

So don’t underestimate the power of having an EVP in place – it can be the driving force behind attracting top talent, retaining valuable employees, and cultivating a thriving workplace culture. Take the time to craft an inspiring EVP that reflects who you are as an employer – because when people feel connected to their work on a deeper level, extraordinary things happen!
