In strengthening our EVP, the most impactful thing has been key manager/employee behaviors that identify the value the individual employees are looking for at any point in their career, and helping them to align their work with that.  For example, for some it is flexibility, for some it is development opportunities, for others it is global experiences.  Whatever it is, the "system" doesn't always work to automatically match up what an individual is looking for with an opportunity unless managers are having those conversations with them. 

EVP has suffered when leaders and managers move away from understanding and supporting employee needs so that employees can perform and achieve together. Blanket Return to office mandates recently have been a big blow to EVP.

I think the two elements of our EVP that likely have the greatest impact on talent attraction are our culture of personal and professional growth and development and our balanced approach to work-life integration.

In my perspective, our organization's EVP achieves significant impact through personalized storytelling tailored to different talent profiles. By understanding the unique needs of various talent pools, we highlight specific aspects that resonate with each audience. For mid to senior brokers, the appeal lies in our streamlined, less bureaucratic approach, enabling faster decision-making. Meanwhile, early-career professionals value our global reach, cross-border opportunities and commitment to sustainability, creating a relatable narrative that enhances attraction and retention efforts.

Happy 2026 planning season to all! Would love to get input from this group as my team dives into annual planning. How much does your company spend per employee on perks (i.e. health/wellness, L&D, fringe, stipends, etc) annually? What do you offer?  What about employee recognition programs (awards, shout outs, etc)? What benefits do you offer aside from medical/dental/vision? (i.e. 401(k), etc.)  Would love to know in totality, roughly how much do you spend on total benefits as a % of revenue.  To the extent you're willing to share, it would be great to get the size/stage of your company.

We are looking to move our time tracking solution from a legacy solution. We have Workday as our HR HCM with ADP integration for payroll. We are over 6000 employees in Operations that will be clocking in/ out on a daily basis. What solutions do you use and what are your pros and cons? Workday seems to have a solution but we also want to look at other vendors. Does anyone have recommendations on potential vendors or have successfully implemented other time tracking solutions?

I’m looking for guidance or examples of effective High Potential (HiPo) development strategies in manufacturing environments where: - Upward mobility is limited due to lean org structures and long-tenured leadership - Work is deliverable-centered and production-driven, with limited room for flexible scheduling - The majority of HiPos are frontline or mid-level talent not positioned for near-term promotion How have others successfully engaged and developed HiPo talent under these constraints?
