So, you’ve got your messaging and now the hard work starts. Your EVP needs to ring true from the very first touchpoint when candidates hear about your organization, to when they browse your career sites, their onboarding experience, their development, all the way through to their exit interview.

The more you reinforce your EVP, the better you become at retaining your people.

Building and maintaining an EVP is much more than an HR initiative. It requires strong leadership by-in to transform the employee experience. This will attract the right people, engage them to perform at their best, and lastly, retain them, allowing you to hold onto your best talent and reducing the cost of turnover and lost productivity.
