Social status, career-driven pursuits, and even money weigh increasingly less against personal growth, satisfaction, happiness, and a good work-life balance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding what makes people happy in their workplace and why they might want (or not) to keep working at a company plays a crucial role in making sure that the company is able to hire the right people, make them happy, and retain them. In fact, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/human-resources\/insights\/employee-engagement-performance\/employee-value-proposition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>recent research<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> stated that organizations that effectively deliver on their EVP can decrease annual employee turnover by almost 70%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is why in the last few months Growens focused on understanding the elements of its work environment that employees recognize and appreciate the most.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final aim is to strengthen its <\/span><b>Employer Brand<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and to enable the improvement of a number of corporate KPIs: from the ease of hiring to the tenure of employees, from the level of engagement and satisfaction to the ability to retain the best talents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to <\/span><b>workshops <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><b>surveys<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the Group has understood the reasons that encourage people every day to work with commitment and dedication within their own Business Unit, distilling them into the <\/span><b>Employer Value Proposition<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the Group and of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.growens.io\/en\/business-units\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business Units<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is an Employer Value Proposition?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Employer Value Proposition, also called EVP, can be compared to a <\/span><b>short manifesto<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> used by a company to position and distinguish itself in its reference job market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The EVP encompasses all the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.growens.io\/en\/growens-values\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">values<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, benefits, climate and any other element that a company offers to its current and potential employees in exchange for their talent, their work skills and their experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In other words, it is the answer to the question: what\u2019s great about working at X?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Employer Value Proposition and Employer Branding<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Employer Value Proposition is closely related to Employer Branding, this is why it\u2019s common for them to be named together. They are complementary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both of them help to create a specific and positive association of a particular company in people&#8217;s minds, telling about different nuances of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Employer Branding defines the <\/span><b>activities <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">implemented by the company to improve the Employer Brand and therefore the reputation that people have of the company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Employer Value Proposition, on the other hand, defines how the company would like to be <\/span><b>perceived as an employer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To ensure that EVP and Employer Branding succeed in their intent, it is essential to be as transparent and truthful as possible, so as to obtain and cultivate the trust of each worker.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The benefits of a good EVP<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It makes the brand more appealing to prospective candidates<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It attracts new talent in line with the company values<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It differentiates the company from its competitors by strengthening the Employer Brand<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It increases employee retention\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It supports the development of a sense of belonging among employees, who will be encouraged to become <\/span><b>company ambassadors<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, promoting the workplace<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>The Group&#8217;s Employer Value Proposition<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first part of the project included workshops about the different corporate cultures both at the Group and BU level, involving the main stakeholders for each environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through this first interaction, we identified specific and distinctive pillars that later were validated by the rest of the company population, through a survey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, Growens\u2019 employees found that <\/span><b>flexibility<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>friendliness<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>internal environment<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>innovation <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><b>fairness <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">best define what they love about working at Growens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once we understood the elements that employees appreciate in each BU, the various EVPs were crafted and then shared and approved by all BU directors, marketing managers and individual employees.
