Developing an EVP in an
imperfect world
Steven BrandRecruitment Marketing & Employer Brand Manager
#talentbites
• How and why we built the Deloitte EVP
• Stakeholders and how we socialised it
• The impacts that had, and the benefits
we’ve seen
• The lessons we’ve learned about an EVP
in the real world
#talentbites
Where you’re aiming to get to
• The intersection point where opportunity for distinction,
credibility of offer and interest of candidates meet
#talentbites
Delivered us 4 Brand Pillars
• Areas we can credibly claim mapped against those with a relevance
and interest to our audience
• Covering a variety of topics
• Ownership by team and service line is built in
• They do not all need to be true for every piece of work we do
• The final step was to further condense these down into a single,
encapsulating statement – our essence and our starting point
So, we have our EVP. But that’s the easy bit…
#talentbites
The challenge?
• How do we bring it to life
• How do we share it across a 15,000 person firm
• How we do bring cynics on board
• How do we ensure it can sustain itself
• How can we make it meaningful
The answer? It’s not ours, it’s everyone’s
• A fundamental objective for us had to be how can we make sure it belongs
to everyone
• So we don’t develop in isolation, we involve a variety of key stakeholders
• And we don’t focus only on our launch timeline – we embrace
collaboration with the wider business
#talentbites
What we did
• Socialised EVP via sessions with:• Leads in Experienced Hire and Student Resourcing
• HR Directors in each service line
• Talent Partners for each service line
• UK firm Managing Partner for Talent
• UK firm HR Partner
• CMO and Head of Brand
• Comms journey and purpose:• Early briefing with HR Partner and Chief Marketing Officer to help
shape the project
• Outputs and journey shared with full stakeholder group
• Sessions kept small, short and personal
• Bespoke presentations for different audiences
#talentbites
Bringing it to life: Tying in with purpose
• Big focus on our agenda for 2020
• Strong link to the strategy of our re-elected CEO
• Both heavily influenced by our purpose
• High visibility of purpose globally
Therefore:
• Work closely to ensure we’re not side-lined or derailed
• Leverage relevance of purpose to our audience
• Raise profile of our work by association
#talentbites
What have we learned?
• That this isn’t grown in a lab in sterilised conditions
• There’s no such thing as the perfect time
• You can launch. You don’t have to LAUNCH!!!
• That your project might belong to you, but your EVP belongs to the
firm…
• …which makes it hard to rigidly dictate timings, launch dates, outputs…
• …and will mean sharing, tweaking and changing constantly as you progress through
stakeholders.
• That all of this leaves you with something that will land better,
resonate stronger, last longer and work much harder for you than
something developed in isolation can ever do.

In conclusion
Embrace your stakeholders
Take your time to get it right for them
And start to share it when you’re ready
