Employee advocacy – empowering your team to build an engaging presence on social media – is one of the best ways to humanise your employer brand. Ogilvy said it was the number 1 influencer trend you should care about in 2024.
But one challenge comes up again and again – how to motivate employees to share with the consistency and quality required to make an impact.
Many turn to software to solve the problem – leaderboards, points, reminders. For others it is rewards, prizes, awards.
The truth is it’s very hard to change someone’s motivation.
In this talk Andrew introduces an approach which goes to the heart of how you help employees build an impactful, consistent habit sharing professionally on social media.
And really bring your employer brand to life.
