Getting leadership behind your EVP strategy early.
Before an EVP is written, it helps to agree what it needs to do for the organisation and who needs to believe in it. We facilitate employee value proposition workshops with your executive team, with employee working groups, or with both, to explore what people value, where the organisation is distinctive and what the EVP should help you achieve.

Who it’s for
HR and talent leaders starting or refreshing an EVP who want leadership and employees involved from the beginning.
Outcome
An agreed strategic direction for your EVP, backed by the people who will need to support it.
Creating your EVP and pillars from your own employee data.
If you already hold employee data, such as survey results, focus group notes and exit interview themes, we use it as the raw material for a working session. Together with your HR and talent team, we turn what employees have said into your EVP and pillars, in your people's own words, so the result reflects what is true and your team understands how it was made.
- Drawing out the language and themes in your employee data
- Drafting the EVP promise and pillars together, in the room
- Testing each pillar against what employees actually experience
- Working out which pillars lead for which roles or parts of the business

Finding where your EVP is landing, and where it isn't.
An EVP only works if people meet it. We audit your existing EVP brand activation, from your careers site, job ads and recruitment campaigns to onboarding and internal channels, then bring marketing, HR, talent, internal communications and leadership into one workshop to agree what to fix first and who owns it. It suits organisations whose EVP came from us, another firm or an internal team.
- An audit of where your EVP shows up, and where it doesn't
- Agreeing priorities and owners across every function involved
- Choosing the measures you will report, such as cost per hire, time to fill and retention
- An activation roadmap your teams can start on

Job ad workshops that help recruiters write faster with AI.
The people who write your job ads and run your interviews carry your EVP to candidates. Our job ad writing workshops show recruiters and talent teams how to write ads that are persuasive and carry your EVP, and how to use AI to draft better ads faster while keeping them on brand. We also train hiring managers to describe the role and team honestly, so the experience matches what candidates were promised.
- Job ad writing that opens with what the role offers and carries your EVP
- Using AI to draft on-brand job ads faster, with prompts built from your EVP
- Hiring manager sessions on describing the team and role in their own words
- Practising on roles you are hiring for now

FAQ
Questions HR leaders ask about EVP workshops.
The things HR and talent leaders ask most before booking a session. If yours is not here, bring it to the call.
Who are the workshops and training for?
Mostly HR and talent leaders, though we often include executives, marketing, internal communications and employee working groups, because an EVP works best when more than one team understands it. Some sessions are for a single group, such as a talent team learning to write better job ads. Others bring several groups into one room. When we talk, we will suggest who should be there based on what you want to achieve.
Do we need an EVP before we book a workshop?
No. Some organisations come to us with an EVP they would like to put to work, some have one that is a few years old, and some have never defined one. We can run a session that starts from wherever you are. If a smaller piece of work would serve you better than a larger one, we will say so.
Can you run a workshop with our executive team?
Yes. Executive sessions are a good way to agree what the EVP needs to achieve for the business before any wording is written, and they make it easier to get support later. We can run them on their own or alongside sessions with employee working groups, so leadership and employee views are both in the room.
What does an EVP activation audit look at?
Everywhere a candidate or employee should meet your EVP, from your careers site, job ads and recruitment campaigns to onboarding, internal communications and how managers talk about the organisation. We look at what is landing, what has drifted and what is missing, then work with your teams on what to fix first.
How is job ad writing training different from just using AI?
AI tools are useful for drafting and editing, and our training shows your team how to use them well. The difficulty is that when many organisations use the same tools with similar prompts, the ads start to sound alike. The training focuses on what goes into the ad first, which is your EVP and what the role really offers, then on prompts and editing so the result is faster to write and still sounds like you.
How do we choose between a workshop and a full EVP project?
A workshop suits teams who want to agree a direction, turn their own data into pillars, or get their functions aligned before committing budget. A project suits organisations who need an EVP researched and written, usually with employee consultation behind it. A session can be a first step towards a project, and for some teams it is all they need. You can read more on our EVP consulting page.
What is the Australian EVP Summit?
The Australian EVP Summit is Australia's largest dedicated EVP event, which we organise and host. Around 150 HR and talent leaders join us each year for a full day of speakers and practical sessions. Other HR events include EVP tracks, but this is the one event dedicated to it. Speakers have come from organisations like Canva, Westpac, Deloitte, Indeed, LinkedIn, DocuSign, Reward Gateway, Revlon, City of Sydney and hipages. We also run webinars and events through the year.
What does it cost?
It depends on the type of session, how many people take part and how much preparation your organisation needs. We would rather give you a clear figure after a short conversation than a range that may not fit. Tell us what you are weighing up and we will help you see what each option would give you.
