If your EVP does not align with the wants and needs of your current and prospective employees, you might see high turnover or struggle to attract new talent into your business.<\/p>\n<p>Losing employees can cost businesses more than investing in initiatives to improve retention and overall employee engagement.<\/p>\n<p>Resignations can cause ripple effects throughout the organisation, leaving employees wondering what caused their colleagues to leave.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Current employees might pluck up the courage to leave after seeing colleagues\u2019 hand in their letter of resignation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is why an effective employee value proposition is so crucial for businesses that wish to thrive.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you create an EVP that works?<\/h2>\n<p>An effective EVP is developed from the understanding an organisation has of their employees\u2019 motivations. Organisations must consider what matters to their employees and what will attract them to stay or leave. All workforces are made of different people, so your EVP will and should look different to other businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Conduct employee engagement surveys or simply ask employees what would boost their engagement at work. Ask your employees what they value, what they don\u2019t find necessary, and anything else you don\u2019t currently offer that they would like.<\/p>\n<p>Top things employees want from their employers<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fair salary<\/li>\n<li>Great culture<\/li>\n<li>Rewards and recognition<\/li>\n<li>Clear expectations and goals<\/li>\n<li>Achievable yet challenging goals<\/li>\n<li>Clear communication<\/li>\n<li>Opportunities for growth and development<\/li>\n<li>Trust\/to work autonomously<\/li>\n<li>Work that is meaningful<\/li>\n<li>Work that is interesting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Employer Branding: Tell the world about your EVP<\/h2>\n<p>To market your EVP and position your brand as a top employer against your competitors, it can be helpful to apply marketing principles.
