In fact, who better than an employee can express, in an authentic way, what it means to be part of a company and what its values are?[\/vc_column_text][wgl_spacing spacer_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; responsive_mobile=&#8221;true&#8221; size_mobile=&#8221;60px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Trying to nurture the relationship with employees, working on the employee experience as an enabling factor for engagement, means, from this perspective, working on people motivation not only to improve their productivity levels, but also to generate reputational value and an image advantage. In short, the more employees feel involved and engaged in the goals and life of the company, the more they will be willing and inclined to promote it both in the internal context of the organization and to external audiences, becoming role models on the company&#8217;s values, strategy and mission, or reference points on a specific content.[\/vc_column_text][wgl_spacing spacer_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; responsive_mobile=&#8221;true&#8221; size_mobile=&#8221;60px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Having Advocates brings a number of benefits to the company: messages shared by employees on their own channels have a significant impact, <span>expanding corporate organic coverage by 200% and increasing profitability by 23%<\/span>, within a network where <span>92% of people say they trust the opinions of their &#8220;peers&#8221; more than those of any other form of advertising<\/span>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;9048&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1669821401465{margin-top: 40px !important;margin-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]The benefits in terms of visibility are not the only ones associated with the project, and the organization is not the only one to benefit. Positive effects are also generated for the employees who get involved as Advocate that are not negligible. We can summarize the benefits of a good Employee Advocacy program in the following points:[\/vc_column_text][wgl_spacing spacer_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; responsive_mobile=&#8221;true&#8221; size_mobile=&#8221;60px&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Increased corporate reputation<\/strong>. Communication on Advocate networks makes it possible to reach a huge pool of users, larger than the one that would be reached only by communication from official company channels, raising awareness and recognition of the organization.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increased level of trust<\/strong>. When employees share company content, they connect to the content itself, giving it an authentic human face and feeling. This humanization of communication is at the heart of customer loyalty and retention, who no longer feel connected to a &#8220;faceless&#8221; organization, but to another human being.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improved employee engagement and employee-company interaction<\/strong>. <span>An analysis conducted by Gallup<\/span> shows that work groups with high levels of engagement are almost twice as likely to be successful in terms of customers, retention, safety, and quality. Improved employee engagement has a positive impact on absenteeism, productivity, employee turnover, customer evaluation, sales and profitability-all results from the fact that better engagement coincides with more optimistic, inspired and connected employees.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Growth in employee accountability<\/strong>. Employees become storytellers of the company&#8217;s reality, creating content that generates conversations around issues that are sensitive to their professional sector. Employee Advocacy programs, then, stimulate employees to take action on their social networks around issues that are highly relevant to their industry and that reflect positively on the organization they work for. Employees can frame this content in their authentic style and voice, and leverage it to get noticed. When employees are publicly well-informed, knowledgeable, and up to date in their field, they begin to emerge as thought leaders and establish their Personal Brand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Talent acquisition and retention<\/strong>. According to LinkedIn research, companies with an Employee Advocacy program <span>are 58% more likely to attract new talent<\/span>. People want to be part of teams with thought leaders, and they want to work for organizations with great reputations. Employees have the ability and tools to make their jobs and careers look their best by working to enhance the company&#8217;s image.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increased leads, conversions, and sales<\/strong>. Employee advocacy leads to company-wide improvements in marketing, social selling, customer service, and customer retention. As direct sales now focus on social selling, sales teams are using social media to meet potential customers, interact with them and develop relationships that turn into sales. According to LinkedIn research, leads from employee advocacy convert 7 times more frequently than other types, and salespeople who share content are <span>45% more likely to meet or exceed their sales quotas<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1669720975687{margin-top: 40px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h4>How to develop Employee Advocacy projects<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The distinctiveness of Advocacy programs lies in their ability to closely relate the internal view to the external view. This dual view peculiar to OpenKnowledge, which stems directly from a deep understanding and knowledge of the different integrative dynamics between internal and external communication, allows us to design these strategies with eyes and approaches that are distinctive from programs that look only externally.[\/vc_column_text][wgl_spacing spacer_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; responsive_mobile=&#8221;true&#8221; size_mobile=&#8221;60px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Giving employees the ability to post company content on their personal channels is an act of great trust. But it need not be an act of faith: the employees involved can and should be properly trained for their new role, and they need to be well aware of the risks of media exposure, especially in industries and contexts that are inherently sensitive. Therefore, Employee Advocacy needs a structured approach to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks associated with the activity. OpenKnowledge proposes a methodological framework that consists of four consequential phases (Ideation, Identification, Activation and Amplification) that generate functional content to feed the Employee Experience, enriching it and reinforcing the culture of involvement, respect and transparency; the framework is subject to constant measurement, to verify its efficiency and in order to be able to make any changes in line with project needs.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;9050&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1669821414928{margin-top: 40px !important;margin-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]The first moment of work, which we have called &#8220;<strong>Ideate<\/strong>,&#8221; encompasses a series of preparatory actions that allow us to understand the business context in which we are moving and to investigate culture, modus operandi, communication and information processes within the company, as well as to map the people who could be the Advocates of the project. We can use qualitative and quantitative survey tools and moments for this purpose, such as interviews with the leadership team to map the project&#8217;s purpose and listening workshops to map the cultural and value elements of the company with all stakeholders involved (which are often at least internal communication, external communication, HR, to which marketing may be added). At this stage, to better understand the state of the art with respect to the mindset and tools for digitization we can also consider launching a Digital Readiness survey on the entire population.[\/vc_column_text][wgl_spacing spacer_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; responsive_mobile=&#8221;true&#8221; size_mobile=&#8221;60px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Having understood the context and how the project is going to dovetail with the goals of positioning the company as an Employer, we move on to phase two, &#8220;<strong>Identify<\/strong>,&#8221; of mapping possible Advocates, which can be done through a qualitative mode name collection or by leveraging the can of data through surveys or Organizational Network Analysis.[\/vc_column_text][wgl_spacing spacer_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; responsive_mobile=&#8221;true&#8221; size_mobile=&#8221;60px&#8221;][vc_column_text]The first two phases, as per the model, pay more attention to the experience we are going to build for the Advocates and provide a higher and more strategic view of the design.
