What is Employee Advocacy?
Employee Advocacy can be defined as employees sharing their
support for a company’s brand, product or service, on their
personal social networks.
The goal is to inform, educate and engage the workforce, thus
keeping them in the know, and allowing them to become brand
ambassadors. It is a way to extend your social media strategy
with your best advocates – your employees.
In other words…
“Employee Advocacy is empowering and enabling your
employees to tell your story as a brand. At Humana, we have
a huge potential to activate our associates to tell our story of
being a health and wellness brand.”
- Jason W. Spencer
