8 Example of LinkedIn Post To attract and retain the right talent, companies should not underestimate the power of developing effective, multiple employee value propositions (EVPs). In a workplace culture that is increasingly complex, as people live longer and therefore enjoy longer varied careers, it is crucial that businesses move beyond a one-size-fits-all approach. While the core principles of your EVP may remain the same, it should be able to be tailored to appeal to people from different generations and at different points in their careers. An effective EVP is a two-way deal between a company and an employee which defines the essence of the organisation, how it is unique, and what an employee will receive in return for their skills and experience. It s a framework that differentiates an organisation from their competition. To develop multiple EVPs, a company must start with the core values and ideas that make it unique and work out how to communicate those ideas to individuals within set groups. For example, the Amazon careers website explains how Amazon is the most customer-centric business in the world, and then defines how this applies to specific sectors such as HR and new graduates. Developing strong EVPs provides three core benefits: Newly hired employees are much more committed to your organisation A company does not have to pay as high a premium to attract the right talent Higher employee advocacy, resulting in easier attraction and retention of quality staff You have to be in a position where you can communicate what is great about working for your organisation in general, as well as what is great about working for your organisation for the individual. If you can t do that, you will struggle to attract and retain the talent you need.
