Create more positive internal communication with 'Employee Advocacy'
Employee advocacy refers to a concept whereby employees of an organization are actively involved in promoting and supporting their employer's brand, values, products and/or services. It means that employees act as ambassadors and communicate positively about their organization, both internally and externally.
How?
Employee advocacy takes place in various ways. This includes:
- sharing positive experiences and stories about the job on social media
- actively participate in events and conferences on behalf of the organization
- recommending the products and/or services to potential customers
- blog posts
- guest appearances in the media.
What are the advantages?
There are several benefits associated with employee advocacy:
- First, it increases credibility and trust in the brand. Because employees are seen as authentic sources, their recommendations and personal stories have a greater impact on potential customers than traditional marketing efforts.
- Second, employee advocacy contributes to a positive work culture and employee involvement. When employees feel valued and given the opportunity to make their voices heard, they can experience a sense of pride and involvement. This leads to higher satisfaction and thus to the best performance in the workplace.
- Finally, employee advocacy helps attract and retain talent. Potential employees become interested in an organization through positive stories and recommendations from current employees. The active presence on social media and other channels contributes to the visibility and reputation of the organization as an attractive employer.
