In this episode of Navigating Risk, host Luca Rosi is joined by Chris Andrew, Strategic Planning & Communication Consulting Lead at Gallagher, and Michelle Sequeira, Proposition Growth Leader for EVP, to discuss how organisations can reimagine Employee Value Proposition (EVP) to meet the evolving needs of today's workforce

EVP is often mistaken for a benefits package or employer branding initiative. As Chris and Michelle explain, a modern EVP is far broader serving as the strategic framework that aligns workforce expectations, organisational purpose and brand promise. By connecting these elements, EVP becomes the foundation for a consistent, credible and engaging employee experience.

This episode explores:
• A practical definition of EVP, and why clarity matters
• How to close the gap between stated EVP commitments and employees' lived experiences
• Why fairness, transparency and authenticity are essential to a credible EVP
• How EVP is likely to evolve as organisations become increasingly data‑led and skills‑focused

The discussion provides a structured, forward‑looking perspective on how EVP can help organisations manage people risk, strengthen culture and support future workforce requirements.

In the latest episode of the Navigating Risk podcast, host Luca Rosi speaks with Michelle Sequeira, Gallagher's EVP Proposition Growth Lead, about how organisations can build skilled, engaged and agile workforces amid rapid change.

Michelle explores how cost pressure, skills competition and new regulations are reshaping workforce priorities, and why organisations must shift from activities to outcomes using data‑driven insights. The conversation highlights the growing importance of AI, creativity, resilience and curiosity as core future skills and why EVP, culture and employee experience are becoming critical business levers.

Luca and Michelle also discuss:

• How strategic workforce planning is evolving into a people‑risk discipline
• The rise of skills‑based organisations, internal mobility and career agility
• What leading organisations do differently to strengthen engagement and reduce change fatigue
• Why trust, communication and alignment between EVP, talent practices and culture matter more than ever
