Toward a New Employment Proposition

The Diverse Workplace

The data shows that employers need to move quickly to redefine an employment relationship that makes sense for the realities of today’s environment – before it is defined for them in ways that compromise their competitiveness and sustainability over time.

This new relationship must be grounded in three organizational dimensions:

• Fostering self reliance on the part of employees
• Creating greater personalization in how the employment deal is defined and delivered for various segments of the workforce.
• Building more flexibility and agility into the organization’s structure and processes, talent and reward programs, and the HR function itself.

Think of this new deal or employment value proposition (EVP) as the art of the possible. Creating a synthesis of both traditional and novel approaches to workforce management. Having the best of both worlds is wanted by most people. The overall framework provides a structure and focus for decision making.

Today’s workplace is truly diverse in ways few companies can ignore, whether they operate globally or in one location.
