Human Resource Management
Relation Between the Evps We have seen the contribution of these twins to the growth of the organizations. Like identical twins, there is a strong alignment between employer value proposition and employee value proposition. The proper balance between the two will ensure that the organization attracts and retains the right talent, and ensures their satisfaction, ultimately leading to an increase in the productivity of employees. Basically, employer value proposition and employee value proposition are two sides of the same coin. While one side pictures the brands point of view, the other side shows you the employees’ point of view. The perfect tuning between the employee’s goals and companies’ goals give sustainable results.
Soulful music resonates only when the instrument is well-tuned. Similarly, only if employer value proposition and employee value proposition are well tuned, can the brand achieve sustainable growth. If the musician is given a well-tuned instrument naturally the audience would expect a superlative performance from him and that's natural. That’s how these twins are and need to be interdependent, compatible and inseparable! Proper alignment Between them ensure attracting and Retention of the right talent, and guarantees its satisfaction, ultimately leading to increase in overall Employee productivity and increased business performance.
Who is an employee Putting aside the definition found in dictionaries, an employee is the most dynamic, the most valuable and the most skilled resource among all the resources of a business. The more dynamic, valuable and skilled a resource, the greater the attention and care it requires to function at its best. For a HR manager, it is crucial to understand the professional life cycle of an employee. For an organization, not only is it important to attract the right talent, it is also equally important to make sure they are satisfied and remain committed to contributing their best for its business.
What do employees want from an organization? In my experience the answer to this question is no longer just 'money'. I have found a few other factors that employees hold dear: 1) satisfaction- Most people would be okay with a pay cut if it means working at something that gives them satisfaction and adds value to their career. 2) Feedback- (Acknowledgment, Appreciation, Reward) - Regular feedback is important to employees; even negative feedback which help in their development - both personal and professional! An organization must acknowledge the efforts put in by them. In case of good performance, it must ensure that employees are appreciated and rewarded. 3) Growth and Learning- The opportunity to continuously learn something new is high on an employee's priority list.
There are also some absolutely no no's which makes employees unhappy and dissatisfied. They might even cause you to lose a good employee. 1. No amount of money can keep your employee motivated if he/she feels stuck in a meaningless job. 2. Lack of recognition is another no-no. 3. Probably nothing is as dangerous as the lack of growth and development opportunities. 4. Lack of passion and zest in their leaders- A leader who lacks zest and passion for his/her work makes even the most performance-oriented employees unhappy.
How does an organization develop its EVP statemen? Step 1: Start with examine the data / facts you already have. This data is already available in the organization in the form of various sources like exit interviews, employee engagement surveys, on-boarding surveys, recruitment metrics as well as attrition data. Step 2: For me, God in the details. When pearl divers look for oysters, they dive in really deep. Even spirituality teaches one to look with in, search of oneself. Of course, while doing so one may happen with the organization. When this happens, the approach of the senior most people the strategy makers in the organization is very important because they will define the strategy and thereby the decisions to be taken. Step 3: Now you have reached a stage where you have a clear understanding of the EVP, you can go on to actually developing the EVP in tandem with the HR strategy of the company. Make sure it focuses on important areas like Employee Engagement, growth, career development, work life balance etc. Step 4: With the communication of the EVP, the process of defining the EVP gets completed. This communication has to be across, all employee experiences beginning from the recruitment process, on boarding, career development, right up to the exit stage. Thus, communicating the EVP covers the entire employee life cycle. Step 5: Finally, the last step of communicating the EVP is developing systems to measure EVP by integrating it into employee survey and people metrics. Doing so, will help to demonstrate the value of the EVP, calculate return on investment and the financial benefit the organization.
How do people land competitive advantage? There are several ways. First people offer skills, systems, practice, speed, language, bonding and behavior which help execute farms strategies successfully. Strategy implementation cannot be done by physical resources such as technology, building, machine and materials. It is the people who can craft strategy and execute them effectively.

Recruitment
Internal forces: . Recruitment policy . HRP . Size of the firm . Cost . Growth and expansion
External Factors: Supply and demand: -particular important is the supply and demand of specific skills in the labour market. If the demand for a particular skill is high related to the supply an extra ordinary recruiting effort may be needed.
Unemployment rate:
- When the unemployment rate in a given area is high the companies recruitment process maybe simpler. The number of unsolicited applicants is usually greater, and the increase size of the labour pool provides better opportunities for attracting qualified applicants. Labour market: - Labour market conditions in a local area are of primary importance in recruiting for most non-managerial, supervisory and middle management positions. Political and legal consideration: Another external factor is political and legal consideration. Reservation of job for SCs, STs, minorities and other backward classes (OBCs) is a political decision.
Internal factor: Recruiting policy: - One such internal factor is the recruiting policy of the organisation. Most firms have a policy on recruiting internally or externally and analogous to the make or buy policy in inventory management. Temporary and Park time: -Another related policy is to have temporary and part time employees. An organisation hiring temporary and part time employees is in a less advantageous position in attracting sufficient applications. Size of the firm: - Size is another internal factor having its influence on the recruitment process. An organization with one hundred thousand employees will find recruiting less problematic than a firm with just one hundred employees. Cost: - Cost of recruiting is yet another internal factor that has to be considered. Recruiting Cost are calculating per new hire and the figure is considerable nowadays.
