Employee Value Proposition (EVP)
In FY2025/3, we identified an expert partner to undertake research and develop a proposition. The internal research consisted of a Global Survey which received 12,707 responses and 77 focus groups across 15 countries with a mix of age, gender and tenure. In Japan, focus group feedback revealed a strong sense of pride in working for NSG and a desire to contribute to creating new value through challenge and innovation. These insights have informed the local EVP messaging, which emphasizes personal growth, meaningful work, and long-term contribution to the company's future. We had, and continue to have, incredible support from Project Champions across our HR Global Community who have been fundamental in the success of our survey and focus groups and will be key advocates for us as the project continues. We have now created our proposition and the next key milestone will be launching the new Employer Brand.

- Enhances candidate experience with engaging content and early cultural insight, enabling faster, more confident decision-making which could reduce time-to-hire
Employee engagement
