The problem isn't the EVP. It's that nobody owns the space between research and activation.
Employer brand work isn't short of advice. It's short of honest perspective. Here, we write about the decisions that actually matter — EVP, reputation, inclusion, engagement, and talent attraction. Not polished case studies. Observations from inside organisations where something is working, or clearly isn't. For People leaders who read to think, not just to stay current.
