8. Why employee advocacy is social?
The communication landscape is changing
CEOs must communicate more openly and directly with their
employees, and empower them to become company advocates.
Edelman
9. What is employee advocacy?
• Employee advocacy programs strengthen a corporate brand by publicly empowering its leaders and
employees to communicate on behalf of the brand.
• In doing so:
• Employees gain expertise and profile, and become more engaged.
• The organisation increases the number, effectiveness and credibility of brand and value proposition.

11. Creating brand ambassadors from employees is about
more than just throwing out a few incentives. You have to
begin by looking at your organizational culture.
By assessing your company's core values and cultivating
a workforce that lives up to those values, you're creating a
company culture that promotes strong customer service,
loyalty and a sense of fun.
Forbes, 2013
This is about long-term culture change
13. Policy for Social Media
• Policy elements
• “Social media” refers to a variety of online communities like blogs, social networks, chat rooms and forums.
• We consider two different elements: using personal social media at work and representing our company through social media.
•Using personal social media
• We allow employees to access their personal accounts at work. But, we expect them to act responsibly and ensure their
productivity isn’t affected. Using social media excessively while at work can reduce ef
fi
ciency and concentration. Whether
employees are using their accounts for business or personal purposes, they may easily get sidetracked by the vast amount of
available content.

Governance
Flexible but clear governance provides
advocates with the necessary
guidance to help them understand
how to be relevant and reduce risk.
Who, where, when and what to share
depends on the person, the
organisation and the industry.
15. STEP 1
Select your
champions
• Who is a real
in
fl
uencer?
• Who is aligned with
our values?
• Who is already
good at the
Internet?
•
STEP 2
Define whys &
rules
• Why do we need a
reason?
• Why do we list the
do's and dont's?
• Why is there a plan
for each one?
STEP 3
Train your
people
• What does it mean?
• What are their
personal roles?
• What are the best
techniques?
STEP 4
Offer the best
resources
• Where to serve
good content?
• Where to share
reliable sources?
• Where to activate
campaigns?
STEP 5
Promote your
ambassadors
• When to give
recognition?
• When to make them
participate?
• When to show their
expertise?
THE TOP NO RISKS DIGITAL SKILLS ORIENTATION LEADERSHIP
Where to start? Design a pilot and…
Measure and refine
16. Step 1:
Select your champions
SCREENING CRITERIA
• Digital maturity & influence
• Corporate alignment
• Internal activity & connectivity
• Functional & sociodemographic
METHODOLOGY
• Surveys (on/off)
• Social media monitoring
• HR analytics
Within the organisation, there are people who
strongly influence others around them for other
reasons than their job.
From the perspective of internal communication
and branding, it may be more effective to work
with these hidden leaders than launching typical
campaigns.
The challenge is to detect and involve them in
employee advocacy.
17. Step 2:
De
fi
ne whys & rules
DELIVERY
• Social media policy
• Brand ambassadors framework
• Team action plan
APPROACH
• Why to participate
• Where are we going
• What we can contribute
• Do’s and don’ts on social media
For champions to be involved, it’s crucial to share
an inspiring purpose that connects their personal
motivations to corporate values.
Furthermore, the organization should be able to
create a clear set of rules that, far from restricting
participation, give co-workers enough background
and practical recommendations to avoid
unnecessary risks to either the brand or their
personal image.
18. Step 3:
Train your people
TRAINING
• In-person and online classes
• 10 to 40 hours of teaching courses
• Case studies and exercises
• Ongoing support
CONTENTS
• Social media
• Personal branding
• Digital communication tools
The company has to help champions to build and
promote a strong and consistent digital identity.
To do this, they are expected to provide training
regarding the use of the right management tools,
content formats, and social media platforms.
This is where these co-workers best connect with
the groups and communities that are relevant to
them… where they can become influencers… and
where the brand alone will never have as much
impact.
19. Step 4:
Offer the best resources
TOOLS
• Web repository
• Living content board
• Social internal network
• RSS Feed readers
MATERIALS
• Stories, pictures and videos
• Pre-created content & campaigns
• Top sources by specialty
The company can provide their champions with
tools and corporate resources that ease
participation.
Depending on the stage, these materials may be
content repositories with fresh stories and image
assets, and sometimes a live pipeline of content
ready to edit and share on social media
In such way, brand ambassadors will never be
afraid to publish misaligned messages, and risk is
further reduced.
20. Step 5:
Promote your ambassadors
PLATFORMS
• Web, blog, Social Media, Newsletters
• Events, seminars, training sessions
• Rituals & focus groups
• Physical bulletin boards
OUTCOMES
• Visibility
• First-hand experiences
• Scoops, prices and rewards
Companies must recognize and project their
ambassadors’ activity by implementing physical
and virtual spaces to celebrate their progress to
other co-workers and to their clients and
stakeholders.
We refer to corporate communication assets such
as blogs, social media dashboards, events, bulletin
boards, discussion forums, newsletters etc,

26. Policy for Social Media
• Policy elements
• “Social media” refers to a variety of online communities like blogs, social networks, chat rooms and forums.
• We consider two different elements: using personal social media at work and representing our company through social media.
•Using personal social media
• We allow employees to access their personal accounts at work. But, we expect them to act responsibly and ensure their
productivity isn’t affected. Using social media excessively while at work can reduce ef
fi
ciency and concentration. Whether
employees are using their accounts for business or personal purposes, they may easily get sidetracked by the vast amount of
available content.
27. Policy for Social Media
•We advise our employees to:
• Use their common sense. If employees neglect their job duties to spend time on social media, their decline in productivity will show on
their performance reviews.
• Ensure others know that personal account or statements don’t represent our company. Employees shouldn’t state or imply that their
personal opinions and content are authorized or endorsed by our company. We advise using a disclaimer such as “opinions are my own” to
avoid misunderstandings.
• Avoid sharing intellectual property like trademarks on a personal account without approval. Con
fi
dentiality policies and laws always apply.
• Avoid any defamatory, offensive or derogatory content. It may be considered as a violation of our company’s anti-harassment policy, if
directed towards colleagues, clients or partners.
28. Policy for Social Media
•Representing our company:
•Some employees represent our company by handling corporate social media accounts or speak on our company’s behalf. We
expect them to act carefully and responsibly to protect our company’s image and reputation. Employees should:
• Be respectful, polite and patient, when engaging in conversations on our company’s behalf. They should be extra careful when
making declarations or promises towards customers and stakeholders.
• Avoid speaking on matters outside their
fi
eld of expertise when possible. Everyone should be careful not to answer questions
or make statements that fall under somebody else’s responsibility.
• Follow our con
fi
dentiality policy and data protection policy and observe laws on copyright, trademarks, plagiarism and fair use.
29. Policy for Social Media
•Representing our company:
• Inform our [PR/Marketing department] when they’re about to share any major-impact content
• Avoid deleting or ignoring comments for no reason. They should listen and reply to criticism.
• Never post discriminatory, offensive or libelous content and commentary
• Correct or remove any misleading or false content as quickly as possible
Disregarding job responsibilities and deadlines to use social media
Disclosing confidential information through personal or corporate accounts
Directing offensive comments towards other members of the online community
30. Advice for Social Media
• Introduce the purpose of social media as part of your corporate strategy, be it concerning marketing, recruitment or employer
branding.
• Add value – when employees publish work-related social media content, they should provide useful information or insight that is
relevant to the business.
• Employees should be prohibited from sharing con
fi
dential and proprietary information online.
• Responsibility for content – employees should know to exercise good judgment and be prepared to deal with any consequences
that result from inappropriate actions or statements online.
• Authenticity is critical – users of social media should identify themselves by name, and when relevant, position and company.
31. Advice for Social Media
• Keep your audience in mind – before publishing any content, employees should ensure they are not alienating readers that
may be current clients, potential clients, or past/current/future employees.
• Productivity is essential – social media efforts can only be successful if employees
fi
nd a proper balance between social
media and other work.
• Remember to keep it simple so that everyone can easily understand the policy.

campaigns using LinkedIn conversion tracking.
• Conversion rate: How often your ads result in conversions on your website.
• Cost per conversion: Ad spend divided by conversions.
• Leads: the number of leads you get from your ads. This metric applies to campaigns using LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms.
• Cost per lead (CPL): Ad spend divided by leads

Why How Metric
127. Crisis Management Framework
1.Listen to your customers. Companies should monitor the buzz about their brands and products in the Internet. They need to
allocate the right resources to this function like a community manager and buzz analytics tools.
2.Have a voice. Ignoring the conversations about your company in social media is not the solution; the conversation will be there
anyway. Companies cannot control the conversation but they can participate on it. It’s key to do it in humble tone, being
transparent and authentic.
3.When you deal with one customer, you deal with all the customers. The social web brings more transparency to the
relationship between companies and customers, who can easily share their experiences with other customers.
4.Negative experiences get more diffusion than positive ones. This is nothing new but social media amplify this phenomenon,
which emphasizes the need of having a community management team listening and reacting quickly whenever is needed.
5.Social media and mass media are connected. What starts as a little incident reported by a blogger, spreads virally and - once a
massive audience is reached - the news jump into the mass media which further ampli
fi
es the diffusion of the message and
the negative impact to the brand.
6.Turn it into an opportunity: if brands monitoring the buzz in real time, they will quickly detect the incident and can avoid the
negative news in the mass media. It also generate opportunities to show your purpose and customer centricity.
130. Initial recommendations
CALM
HONESTY
RESPONSE
POSITIVE
DO NOT
DELETE
360
The social networks themselves are implicated in managing communications
during crises
Responses should not be sent out too quickly in case of a huge deluge of
messages as this can increase confusion and lead to errors; responses should only
be given once the official position from the committee has been confirmed.
Communications from the company should always be honest and humble.
In low-risk crises, comments – even if they are negative – should always be
responded to respectfully and politely. In critical crises, responses should be more
strategic and organised.
Attention should be drawn to the positive actions carried out by the company
both as the result of crises and for previously published content (preventive
strategy) which give increased credibility to Brand.
A policy of maximum tolerance to messages should be applied with messages
only being deleted if they obviously contravene established policies of decency.
