Employee Value Proposition

Do your employees feel valued? We often pay attention to the unique value proposition that we bring to our customers in business. What about the employee value proposition we bring to our employees?

Some businesses I am aware of have introduced flexible working conditions, established a family-friendly environment and employee assistance programs that demonstrate the value that the business places in its employees.

People want to work for businesses that have carefully thought through the value that is assigned to them. Work places that provide human-need satisfying environments attract the best talent. Ask yourself the following questions:

• Is my business a fun place to be?
• Do my employees feel like they belong and are part of something they can be proud of?
• Are they involved in the decision making processes of the business?
• Are the working conditions flexible enough so that employees have a sense of freedom and still achieve the business results we need?
• Are employees listened to?

Considering answers to these questions will help shape your employee value proposition.
