The abbreviation E.V. P-Employee Value Proposition, refers to the set of programs offered by the Organization in Exchange for work of the employee. Also known as employee value proposition, the EVP is part of studies and motivational theories.
“Theoretically, the EVP is part of motivational theories and studies, conducted by the Marketing, which aimed to” add value “. The article Linking The Employment Value Proposition (EVP) to Employee Engagement and Business Outcomes, written by Brian k. Heger, AT&T Executive in 2007, is one of the first on the subject, “says Flavio Morasco Benetti, communication specialist (personal, business and professional).
Every company has its EVP, the formalization of the method is the first step to create an employer brand, representing the corporate identity, their aspirations and needs on the market. A survey conducted by Global Talent Management and Rewards Study, points out that 72 percent of companies that participated in the survey, report difficulty in attracting employees with critical skills and more than half of them (56%) claim to have problems with retention.
For Flávio Morasco Benetti, companies that adopt the EVP as your brand development strategy, are more likely to face a shortage of talent, since they convey a clear message about its key attributes. In addition, when an organization can develop a consistent EVP, stands out from the competition, helping not only to attract talents as stimulating the pride of belonging and engagement of its employees.
EVP’s proposal is to strengthen a “employer branding”, that impacts on efficient management of attraction and retention of the most qualified professionals available on the labour market. “From there, you can see numerous additional gains, as lower turnover, greater engagement, high levels of satisfaction with the work done, increase in productivity and etc. The main challenges lie in little differentiation of EVP in relation to competitors, lack of consistency between the expectation and delivery X Finally, lack of segmentation by region, profile, among others, “explains the expert.
The EVP must direct the behaviour of employees in day to day work. According to Flavio Morasco Benetti, this is where the role of the Manager comes into play.
“To be in direct contact with the developers, is the Chief Representative of the brand tangibilizando and making the promise described in the EVP in reality. For this, leaders must encourage dialogue, be present, sharing experiences, emphasizing the role of collaborators, thanking the contributions, recognize achievements, among other activities, “he emphasizes.
