Ep 3: The Power of EVP: Attracting and Retaining Talent

In this episode of Savage Insights, hosted by Ronan Savage, we explore the crucial role your Employer Value Proposition (EVP) plays in recruitment and retention. Our guests, Laura Cassells, Head of People & Culture at S&W, and Stephanie Mulholland, Commercial Director at Hunter Savage, share their perspectives on why EVP is more than just a buzzword, it’s the foundation of how organisations connect with, engage, and retain their people. Together, they discuss how employers can define their EVP, bring it to life across every stage of the employee journey, and ensure it resonates in a competitive market. Whether you’re an employer looking to strengthen your talent attraction strategy or a professional curious about how EVP shapes workplace culture, this episode is full of real-world examples and practical advice.
