It should come as no surprise that competition for top talent has become tougher than ever.
This means that companies must excel at attracting, hiring, and retaining team members.
So where do you start?
Studies indicate that communicating and demonstrating a clear Employer Value Proposition or EVP is one of the most important factors in attracting and retaining talent.
For example, a study by CareerArc found that 69% of candidates would decline a job offer from a company with a negative employer brand—even if they were unemployed.
A Gallup poll indicated that employees who understand and connect with their company’s mission and values are 67% more engaged.
A Gartner study found that approximately 65% of candidates reported withdrawing from a hiring process because of an unattractive EVP. Likewise, a well-defined EVP can increase new hire commitment by up to 29% and potentially reduce annual employee turnover by nearly 70%.
