Employee advocacy programs aim to turn employees into brand ambassadors both professionally and personally, especially on social media. This document discusses how to build an effective employee advocacy program. It recommends first understanding employees' perceptions of the company and expectations through an audit. The audit should examine how employees view the company's culture, communication and authenticity. It should also assess employees' willingness to engage and their digital maturity. With these insights, the company can then define the vision, objectives and level of commitment for the program. The program rollout involves training employees and providing content and guidelines for advocacy. Overall, gaining employee buy-in requires credibility and two-way communication.
