EVP Development

Creating the EVP with Togetherness in focus

Based on a thorough insight collection, analysis and co-creation, Trafikverkets EVP was developed. The focus was to ensure that four key criteria for a successful EVP were met; Attractive externally, Authentic, i.e. true internally, Distinctive and Credible. The end result was an EVP focused on the Togetherness, which signifies Trafikverket as an employer but also its role in society, today and tomorrow.

Communication Strategy & Method

In order for Trafikverket to be successful with the ambitious recruitment targets, they needed to start increasing the attractiveness in several key target groups and get these target groups to start associate Trafikverket with their EVP pillars.

The general objectives were:

Raise the awareness for Trafikverket as an employer
Increase their attractiveness within chosen parts of their target groups
Engage their target groups
Build internal pride

The linking of our long term recruitment plans with our employer branding strategy has been instrumental in creating a truly data-led approach to our ongoing activities. And the positive thing is that it works. And when it doesn’t, we know how to fix it. All thanks to a clear process, the right KPIs and an agile mind-set. We can clearly see that our continuous efforts not only support the organizational objectives of Trafikverket, but also that the ROI is very positive.
