Company culture | What changing employee expectations means for the Employee Value Proposition

Over the last 12 months, we’ve worked with in excess of 300 different companies, successfully recruiting senior leaders or high potential leadership hires. In almost every instance, discussions turn to the shifting paradigm of employee expectations, fuelling a need for many companies to invest in their Employee Value Proposition (EVP).

The definition of EVP as the package and benefits you offer your employees in return for their specific skills doesn’t go far enough today. Companies which focus purely on an attractive financial package could be at risk, by inadvertently creating negative behaviours associated with monetary rewards. Those that are winning in the EVP stakes have realised that employees want much more, and are adapting accordingly.
