Your EVP is the value that an employee can expect to receive in return for their performance at work and along with the employer brand is a key element in attracting the right people.
An Employer Brand will outline a positive set of expectations and assumptions of what it’s like to work at an organisation. It supports efforts to differentiate the organisation in the labour market; enabling them to attract, recruit, retain and engage the right people. It also helps to keep existing employees motivated and engaged.
Let’s face it, at present, most careers pages are very basic and don’t give potential new hires a real feel for what working life is like at an organisation. Mentioning the values and a bullet point list of the benefits is hardly likely to inspire someone to join you. There is a better way!
It’s important to have a clear definition of what you are trying to achieve, and for this you need an EX strategy. We’ve developed a methodology for writing EX strategies called BASICS: Brand, Audience, Stories, Interactions, Content, Systems.
