This Week in Talent: Explore insights on refining your Employee Value Proposition (EVP), building your personal brand, and lessons from Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour with Tash. Learn strategies to align your EVP with innovation, connect with your audience, and uncover your unique strengths for personal and professional growth.
This week, amidst the buzz of Black Friday sales, I’ve been reflecting on the importance of continually revisiting and redesigning your Employee Value Proposition (EVP) and taking the time to unpack your personal brand.
Last week, I discussed our hackathon – a fantastic event that allowed our tech employees to pitch new ideas and innovate. It provided valuable time away from their routine to focus on innovation, aligning perfectly with our EVP.
Your EVP journey is a marathon, not a sprint. Once you’ve nailed it, the work doesn’t stop there. You should constantly review and refine it. What new and innovative solutions can you incorporate into your current offering?
A compelling EVP supports your business strategy. Find your niche and own it. The best brands succeed because they know who they are and stay true to their vision instead of following the crowd.
At Globird, for instance, our ZeroHero energy plan exemplifies innovation. It’s designed to offer customers a hassle-free way to maximise returns from solar energy and home batteries. It’s simple, efficient, and perfectly aligned with our focus on meeting daily needs.
If you’re a Taylor Swift fan, you know her Eras Tour wraps up this weekend. But beyond the music, there’s so much to learn about branding that can inspire your EVP refresh.
December is a month of reflection, celebration, and recognising your achievements. While refining your employee brand, don’t overlook your personal brand. Personal branding involves defining and showcasing your unique value proposition.
As Jeff Bezos famously said, “Your brand is what people say about you when you’re not in the room.”
A strong, well-managed personal brand offers several benefits. It boosts your visibility among key stakeholders, helps expand your network, and opens doors to new opportunities. On a deeper level, it helps you uncover and celebrate your unique strengths – your superpower.
I recently attended an inspiring session by Haystack Executive on crafting personal brands. Key takeaways included:
EVP meets business strategy meets personal brand. It’s a great webinar playback to get a high level introduction to all 3.
I am listening to the Sustainability Tracker Podcast– I am spending time emersed in podcasts about the energy transition. Take a listen, you will think differently about your energy bill I promise you.
The Deliberate Leader Podcast– A great listen to hear from other leaders weekly. The most recent episode talks all about being a more decisive leader.
