The Importance of Employee Value Proposition


Introduction

In the modern world where employees are considered as an asset, it is not all about the salaries and the allowances. Only 12% of the employees leave an organization for a better pay check, some leave because of the organization culture, some because they look for a better career path (Zojceska, 2018).  

 

While it should be accepted that an organization cannot satisfy all its employees, there should be a good Employee Value Proposition (EVP) which keeps the majority of them satisfied. EVP is the benefits given to the employees in return for the sills, capabilities and experiences the employee brings in (Shekhar & Srumita , 2012). As human one tends to perform well, take ownership of his duties when he/she is well looked after. This motivation enables more productivity than any other. In other words, having a good EVP system will help retain the skilled employees and at the same time will attract new employees (Armstrong, 2006) .

 

The EVP should define your organization’s essence.  It should cover all the core reasons why people work there. Some important factors such as Financial Compensation, Employment Benefits, Career Development, Work Environment. An EVP system which is not executed properly will create more damage than not having one.  

 

Social Service Sector, which is non-profitable yet are expected to provide quality service need the skilled employees to execute their tasks. Unlike in any commercialized organization, employers get shadowed by the term “Service” mostly when it comes to their employees. It is very important for the employers to design a suitable and effective EVP system which will create a good employee brand value.

 

Conclusion

Employee Value Proposition, is a key factor in attracting and retaining skilled employees for an organization. Employers should pay special attention to create a proper EVP system which suits them. The Social Service Sector should take EVP as key component and make appropriate arrangements to accommodate EVP.
