EmployeeValueProposition
Do you know if your organization has an 'Employee Value
Proposition' (EVP)? If you're thinking NO, think again. Your
organization may not have defined and even promoted their
EVP, however the EVP exists and your employees and
prospective employees are talking about it. So what is EVP,
andwhyfocusonit?
Employee Value Proposition, as the name suggests is what
'value' the organization offers to its employees. This 'value' is an
outcome of the organizations DNA and remains relatively
constant over a period of time. It is an outcome of the
organization's Culture, its practiced Values, its policies and the
employeeclimateitcreates.
The EVP can be highlighted in the Employee Branding to
showcase the organizations uniqueness. It is selected with care
to ensure that the organization has a unique 'Competitive
Advantage'.
While branding, it is essential to ensure that the strengths of the
existing culture are highlighted in the EVP. The aspirations of the
organization also need to be captured. Presenting an EVP that is
only based on aspirations and leaving out the current culture
may lead to attracting candidates, however retention of such
employeesmaynotbepossible.

environment that helps people stay and thrive. This culture
provides a 'Sense of Belonging'. Here, it is more than just an
employer and employee contract, it is a relation that is built over
time and over interactions and conversations. Having a culture
with values and encourages 'Self-expression' i.e. encourages
people to 'Be themselves' at our workplace. Employees have
access to different forums to express themselves. People are
'Empowered'intheirrolesandvariousinitiativeswhichsupports
them to succeed. They are provided space to work in their style
to give their best. At Liberty Videocon 'Employee Experience' is
the key to our culture. Some of our unique initiatives include
Comprehensive On-boarding and Induction Program, Learning
Leaders, Conversational Town halls, Stay Interviews, Cross
Functional Skip Level Meets, Conversational Cup Meet Ups and
manymore.
The bottom-line is that the EVP enables the organization to
Attract, Engage and Retain employees. It is good practice to
study the trends, i.e. what the target talent segment 'values' and
highlight those practices and culture attributes that are valued
and also match with the strengths of the existing culture. Based
on the discovery we could enhance and build what already exists
andisalsovalued.
So what is the EVP that you are building, nurturing and
promotingisyourorganization?
