Successful business doesn’t happen by accident. To achieve something great in business is a deliberate and constant dance. One thing we know to be true: To be in business is to be in the business of people. And those people – your employees – are restlessly looking to define what working at your company means to them. They’re looking to define themselves through their work.

To communicate the value of employment at your organization, look no further than the EVP (employee value proposition). The EVP is a tool used by strategic leaders and HR teams that organizes, creates alignment for, and inspires communications about, the many reasons employees benefit from working at a company.

Facilitated by employee experience expert Eric Harris, this course is designed to guide you in directing the classic principles of brand marketing strategy, and using today’s tools, to build your company’s reputation as an employer of choice.
