Our mandate involves aligning EVP and actively shaping the employee experience through the life-cycle; supporting new or existing EVPs and their delivery, for impact on both culture and your bottom line.
EVP Alignment and Internalisation phase puts the focus squarely on aligning EVP to ensure consistency of messaging, actions, activities, and behaviours.
Essentially extending the delivery of the ‘employment experience’ promise; to win over talent and deliver more trust, advocacy, productive teams, increased brand loyalty.
ALIGNMENT
Throughout your project, the opportunities are made more obvious and solution clear. Employer brand programs from The Higher Mix highlight just where urgent change, touch-point process realignment is required.
Bad hiring decisions and staff turnover are regularly attributed to improper alignment of potential candidates, organisational values and/or culture. So embedding EVP into HR activities, strategy and output can avoid this – and likewise prevent any disjoint in EVP experience.
Aligning EVP, Internalization
Internalising an EVP, as with any implementation, requires sponsorship and dedicated approach from execs/senior management driving the strategy.
And solid support also from mid-level leaders across lines, agencies and departments.
Existing talent sets the “tone” of the business to potential recruits – so its vital to align your people’s expectations, feelings, perceptions with the employer brand. Esp. if your organisation wants to maintain its reputable positioning, quality servicing and a motivated, productive workforce.
Evaluation and engagement phases earlier in this EB process give Higher Mix’s change and brand specialists very clear direction on decisions to be made, and the barriers to more competitive EVP.
