Here you get a good overview of points regarding what to do when you have to implement employee advocacy.
The points are:
So let's start by giving the group of corporate ambassadors a name.
Your start with building training for your employees, starts with you finding a really good name for the participants.
Since employee advocacy in a Danish context is not that well known and can quickly sound like something clever that has been discovered by the management, then you can advantageously come up with another name. In the case of such a need, you can use these expressions:
but the recommendation from here is that you come up with a name that is unique to your company. If you sell vacuum cleaners, you can call your employee ambassadors ‘the suckers'. The name you come up with must only be used internally, so it doesn't matter if it's a bit cheeky.
The employees should be able to associate the word with something that is fun and something that you want to be a part of.
In continuation of the naming, it is about getting one, or a few colleagues to participate for a start. It is these colleagues who must start the rings in the water. It is these people who must be frontrunners to tell the rest of the organisation how much fun it is to participate.
If you get the start right, you can achieve a snowball effect.
So how do you do it?
You do this by motivating the employees and taking into account that the employees have a busy everyday life. This means that you must help the employees get started, until the employees are more self driving. You can do this by being a role model:
Everything is new for the employees. Some of course have a higher digital starting point in relation to experience, but regardless of level, there must be room to try things out and learn from one's posts, reels, videos, etc. Speech must be free.
Rome wasn't built in a day. Neither is your new corps of ambassadors.
You can advantageously arrange internal training courses such as:
For the last point, it is for example, important to maintain a professional and respectful tone when responding to criticism. Also, don't delete critical comments. Sometimes an apology can come from the sender of the criticism when they reflect on what they have written.
You can then turn the best digital employees into mentors for the new batch of participating employees. In this way, the mentors feel that they have been given expert status. Depending on how many mentors you choose, choose to give every new participating employee a buddy if possible.
As soon as you get started with the ambassador corps, some statistics will also start to appear.
In this way, the ambassador corps can gain insights into their own and their colleagues' posts. It can create inspiration and you can set some goals together that you would like to achieve, for example:
With these insights, you will also discover that working with employee advocacy is organic in the way that it is constantly evolving.
Employee advocacy can be said to be a long and tough process and it can be a very time consuming task. But the benefit of employee advocacy is that it creates:
Alternatively, how will you obtain it?
You can alternatively consider going down the track with: Employer Branding. It is, as a starting point, less demanding and therefore you have a higher degree of control. But it is not as effective as employer branding.
