employee receives in return for the skills, capability and experience they bring to a
company.

An EMPLOYEE VALUE PROPOSITION is about defining the essence of your


company; how it is unique and what it stands for. It encompasses the central reasons
that people are proud and motivated to work there, such as the inspiring vision or distinctive
culture.

Here are some tips on creating a compelling EMPLOYEE VALUE PROPOSITION:

1) Understand existing perceptions

To develop a strong, realistic EMPLOYEE VALUE PROPOSITION, you must first


understand what perceptions existing staff and potential employees have about your
company brand and culture. For example:

• Why are potential employee attracted to the company?

• Why do they stay?

This information can be gathered through employee surveys, focus group, and exist
interviews, as well as through feedback from former employees and job applicants.

2) Determine key selling points

Establish a cross-functional team to review the research results and the aspects of
your business that people value the most. Use this information to draft anEmployee
value proposition, ensuring the following questions are considered:

Does it align with your strategic objectives?

Does it clearly differentiate your company?

Test your Employee value proposition with existing employees and a sample group
from the external market to see if it adequately articulates why an individual would
want to work for your company.

ways to communicate it to the people you are trying to attract. Start by conveying it
through all hiring

relations and marketing will also help the passive labour market form a positive
perception about the value of working for your company.

in helping to attract talent with the right cultural fit. To cultivate brandambassadors,
your employees must see consistency in the image you sell external and in the day -
to- day reality of working for your company. Incorporate the Employee value
proposition into the company’s induction plans, reward, and recognition schemes,
internal communications, policies and business plans, so that it is reflected in the way
your company conducts its daily operations. Review your annually to ensure that it
continues to reflect the changing employee experience.

KEY ELEMENTS OF AN EMPLOYMENT VALUE PROPOSITION

There are five key areas that should be touched on with most EMPLOYEE VALUE
PROPOSITIONs:

1. Tangible Rewards

As simple as it sounds, wages, bonuses, commissions, benefits, work tools, trips and
any other tangible benefits an employee can expect from performing a job should be
included. Savvy candidates are looking at the entire compensation package rather than
just the raw dollars.

2. The Opportunity

This part of the EMPLOYEE VALUE PROPOSITION addresses the need for
candidates to understand where this position can lead them on their own career path.
More and more, job seekers are looking for their next job even as they are starting a
current one. Richard is taking a job as an accounting clerk while trying to grow into
an accounting manager position; Rachel is taking a merchandising position while
looking for an opportunity to become a corporate buyer, and so forth.By clearly
defining where each position sits within your corporate structure and where within
your organization you expect this position to lead, job seekers can envision their
career path several steps at a time. This is a value-add that really strikes a chord with
new hires.

3. The Organization

Building an EMPLOYEE VALUE PROPOSITION includes building the overall


employment brand. People want to work for companies they can be proud of. What is
it that sets your company apart from others in your industry?

4. The People

“Who will I be working with?” is a popular question candidates ask, and thus the
answer must be part of your EMPLOYEE VALUE PROPOSITION. Can you point to
anyone who may be seen as a mentor or thought leader who will interact with the
person who fills this position? What about the team atmosphere and group dynamics?
What is the tenure of others in this role? Will this be an independent or work-from-
home role?

5. The Work Itself

What does a day in the life of this position look like? If you can accurately describe
the keys to success in the role at hand, the potential new employee has the chance to
envision themselves in it. The more detail and content, the better. You want to
highlight what a good day looks like, and it exists for every role from ditch digger to
futures trader. Find what a good day on the job looks like and describe it as part of
your employment value proposition. As the job seeker projects themselves into the
role, they will soon discover how well the job fits them and you should begin to see
an influx of better-prepared candidates.
FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE YOUR EMPLOYEE VALUE
PROPOSITION

Defining an EMPLOYEE VALUE PROPOSITION is about assessing the essence of


your company – what makes it special and what exactly it stands for. It should cover all the
core reasons that people are proud and motivated to work there, such as the fun workplace
or distinct company culture.

A strong EMPLOYEE VALUE PROPOSITION is the key to your organisation


retaining its top performers and attracting the best external talent at the same time.

Employee value proposition is a broad concept but can be broken down into five main
components:

rewards such as bonuses and promotions. Does your team feel paid often enough? Do they
feel treated fair enough?

Employment benefits

and sick days), life and accident insurance as well as health, dental, retirement, tuition,
disability benefits.

Career development

This explores how you can contribute to the development and growth of your
employee’s career, through opportunities for training and education, sponsored air trips to
industry gatherings, etc.

a positive work environment. This includes everything from customised office space design
to regular team building exercises for building camaraderie to providing professional
mental health experts for your team.
Company culture

A great company culture is built on maintaining positive relationships between


colleagues, juniors and seniors and is characterised by a sense of trust, collaboration,
team spirit and support. For example, this article lists 9 powerful culture.
EXAMPLE

Netflix, Inc. is an American media-services provider and production


company headquartered in Los Gatos, California, founded in 1997 by Reed
Hastings and Marc Randolph in Valley, California. The company's primary business is its
subscription-based streaming OTT service which offers online streaming of a library of films
and television programs, including those produced in-house As of April 2019, Netflix had
over 148 million paid subscriptions worldwide, including 60 million in the United States, and
over 154 million subscriptions total including free trials. It is available almost worldwide
except in mainland China (due to local restrictions) as well as Syria, North Korea,
Iran, and Crimea (due to US sanctions). The company also has offices in the Netherlands,
Brazil, India, Japan, and South Korea. Netflix is a member of the Motion Picture Association
of America (MPAA).

Netflix's initial business model included DVD sales and rental by mail, but Hastings
abandoned the sales about a year after the company's founding to focus on the initial DVD
rental business. Netflix expanded its business in 2010 with the introduction of streaming
media while retaining the DVD and Blu-ray rental business. The company expanded
internationally in 2010 with streaming available in Canada, followed by Latin America and
the Caribbean. Netflix entered the content-production industry in 2012, debuting its first
series.

Since 2012, Netflix has taken more of an active role as producer and distributor for
both film and television series, and to that end, it offers a variety of "Netflix Original" content
through its online library. By January 2016, Netflix services operated in more than 190
countries. Netflix released an estimated 126 original series and films in 2016, more than any
other network or cable channel. Their efforts to produce new content, secure the rights for
additional content, and diversity through 190 countries have resulted in the company racking
up billions in debt: $21.9 billion as of September 2017, up from $16.8 billion from the
previous year. $6.5 billion of this is long-term debt, while the remaining is in long-term
obligations. In October 2018, Netflix announced it would raise another $2 billion in debt
to help fund new content.
CONCLUSION

A good performance assurance model which supports measuring and recognizing


contribution fairly across the organization, and, additionally and providing an assured model
of predictive performance will make robust and proactive. So 3c’s model: culture,
contribution and capability playsa very important role in every organization.
