For many organizations the question is no longer why implement an employee advocacy program but how do you implement an employee advocacy program. For this reason we have partnered with Orca Social to map out what a successful implementation program looks like.

Of course all companies have their differences in their goals but the structure set out here within has been proven to work across multiple organizations so why ‘reinvent the wheel’ ?

Grow From the Inside: The Winning Social Media Strategy for Mid-Sized Companies
Brand marketers always seek tips and strategies to stay ahead of their competition. This is especially true within social media departments at mid-sized companies. Social moves fast so marketers have to be smart about the programs and strategies they implement. Today, many are improving their social media strategies by adopting an Employee Advocacy program.
Join Kelsey Meyer, Cofounder and President at Influence & Co., and An Le, GM Mid-Market at Dynamic Signal as they discuss how smaller companies have now started to capitalize on their most valuable and untapped resource, their very own employees.

With over 110,000 employees in 180 countries, Ericsson is a leader in the networking and telecommunications industries. Much of the brand’s success is due to their legacy of hiring and retaining top talent around the world. Their communications and HR teams wanted to find an easy but impactful way to help their employees build their own personal brands on social media to highlight their industry expertise and leadership.
Across Ericsson, there were already a few different types of employee advocacy and social media programs in place. They knew they needed to aggregate the many different programs into one place where employees could more easily access company news, announcements, and job listings from a singular destination. This would keep their employees more informed and engaged, a top priority for the company.
Sonia Boije and Lisa Smith-Strother from Ericsson explore topics such as:
• How to launch and scale an employee advocacy program
• How to aggregate multiple channels & create a single employee advocacy destination
• How to educate and train a diverse workforce on social media and thought leadership
• How to sustain engagement as well as recognize and reward employee advocates
How to Drive Adoption and Engagement within an Employee Advocacy ProgramDynamic Signal

Alex Cramer from Dynamic Signal, Lori Grey, head of Deloitte’s employee ambassador program, and Susan Emerick, CEO & Founder at Brands Rising, explore best practices, strategies and examples for launching an employee advocacy program that your employees really use and love.
The technology industry is fast-paced and constantly changing. To succeed in this competitive landscape, companies need to make sure their employees are up-to-date with the latest information. Softchoice, a leading North American provider of IT solutions and managed services, found a way to keep their 1,600 employees engaged and informed with the latest industry news and company updates — using the Dynamic Signal platform as their primary communications hub.
By launching an employee advocacy platform, Softchoice employees are able to use social media to generate leads, recruit talent, and grow their professional brand. Their world-class internal communications strategy connects every employee across the organization and aligns them with the company's purpose, values and mission and goals.
Joel Marans, Senior Manager, Brand & Communications, from Softchoice discusses topics such as:
• How to make a business case for an employee advocacy and communications program
• How to design the right strategy for your business and select the best technology partner
• How to launch your program, and begin tracking results on day one

SAP joins Ted Rubin in discussing the impact the company's employee advocacy has had on marketing, sales, and brand awareness. Sarah Goodall, SAP's Social Business Lead for EMEA, shares impressive stats including a paid media cost equivalent of 1.2 million via employee advocacy.
As the voice of the brand, employees can sway public opinion with their authentic, trusted point of view. Businesses continue to adapt to the quickly changing social environment, and there is little doubt that socially active employees exist within organizations. But how do companies partner with these types of employees, organize them behind a unified message, and scale a program? Join author and thought leader Neal Schaffer, and Bart Casabona, Director of Social Media at Pitney Bowes, as they discuss the impact social employees are having on companies.

Rethink Employee Communications: Adapting to the Digital AgeDynamic Signal
High-performing organizations make employee communications a priority. They know an engaged workforce makes for a more successful organization, but is it time to rethink what employee communications can be in the digital era? Many organizations have found that traditional methods of employee communications, such as email and intranet, are now proving ineffective. Their employees feel disconnected from the company’s story and don’t have the ability to be brand advocates. What if your employees could see all the latest company information in one place, on mobile, with a click-to-share social capability? Not only would your employees be informed, but they would help share your company’s brand through peer-to-peer social. This is what the new employee communications looks like in the digital age.
Key Learnings:
- Why traditional forms of employee communications are proving ineffective today
- Real-world examples of how innovative companies are changing their employee comms strategies
- How to ensure that your employees stay informed on company news
- How to incorporate social and mobile into your employee communications strategy

Transforming Employees Into Brand AmbassadorsLauren Friedman
According to the 2014 Edelman Trust Barometer, customers trust the average employee 2X more than a chief executive. Many brands are overlooking one of the most valuable types of advocates — their employees.
Social media gives brands an avenue to do much more than market and advertise. In this new era, our connected customers expect more from us. Social media allows us to deepen customer relationships and becoming a true social business requires all employees.

How To Activate Employee Engagement Through Digital TransformationDynamic Signal
“Digital” continues to disrupt and create new opportunities for businesses and brands across multiple areas of their organizations. From real-time response to hyper-connected customers and employees, companies often struggle to fulfill the increasing demand for fast, personalized responses to their requests and concerns.
Highly trusted employees can be an organization’s greatest asset during this transformative time. But today’s employees have very different expectations and needs as well.
Join David Armano, Global Strategy Director of Edelman, and Cydney Roach, U.S. Practice Lead for Edelman’s Employee Engagement Practice, for an exclusive webinar with Dynamic Signal. The panel will discuss:
- What got us here and how an organization’s digital transformation journey impacts its future
- How to engage employees using new technology and techniques
- How trust factors into brand reputation and employee advocacy
It’s no secret that technology has changed the way we communicate in our everyday lives. Now, that evolution is directly shaping workforce communication.
While marketing teams have been benefiting from the advances of new technology for years, communications technology has been stuck at intranets and email. But not any longer.
In this virtual fireside chat, Michael Brito, Head of US Digital, LEWIS Global Communications, will be joining Robyn Hannah, Senior Director, Global Communications at Dynamic Signal, to discuss the future of workforce communication and how CommsTech is finally catching up. Michael is a digital strategist, author, TEDx speaker, adjunct professor with over 15 years experience helping organizations solve marketing and communications challenges.
If companies want to keep their employees engaged, understanding how workforce communication and productivity go hand-in-hand is critical. Organizations must set up scalable infrastructure so that employees are informed and empowered to be more productive and amplify the brand message. However, this becomes more difficult as more and more companies are moving to a remote and distributed workforce. Coordinating among multiple roles, languages, and locations is increasingly important.
How Salesforce Mobilized Thousands of Global Employee AdvocatesDynamic Signal
Founded in 1999, Salesforce pioneered the revolutionary idea of replacing traditional desktop CRM software with CRM in the cloud, making it accessible anytime from anywhere. Today, Salesforce’s innovative cloud platform is the world’s #1 CRM solution.
With thousands of employees around the globe, Salesforce needed to find ways to connect with and empower their workforce to broadcast important company news. Salesforce employees were already active on social media; they just needed the right content, and a safe and easy way to share it.
With what started as an event promotion strategy for Dreamforce - Salesforce’s annual conference - has now expanded to a company wide ambassador program with more than 7,000 members, accounting for nearly 700M impressions and over 750K shares. International offices are also creating unique, localized content that is relevant to their regions, further connecting micro-communities of Salesforce’s workforce.
Tiffany Hsu, Manager of Social Media Marketing at Salesforce discusses topics such as:
• What you need to know to launch and scale an employee advocacy program
• What content resonates most with employees
• How to ensure relevancy for global teams
• How to expand your employee advocacy program across multiple marketing channels
3 Brilliant Ways Deloitte Took Employee Advocacy to the Next LevelDynamic Signal
Since 2012, Deloitte has engaged thousands of employees to advocate for the brand on social media and build their personal brands. By training, coaching and gathering feedback from their ambassadors, they have grown and matured every aspect of the program over the past four years. It has evolved into a critical component of their marketing strategy, driving awareness for the brand and producing results that have impacted the bottom line.
Turner Roach, Social Media Marketing Manager, and Aida Ahmed, Marketing and Communications Lead, from Deloitte Services, LP discuss the evolution of Deloitte’s leading employee advocacy program.
• How to promote the program internally to re-activate employee participation
• How to educate employees on personal brand building so they understand the value of it
• How they have altered their content strategy to ensure ongoing growth and success
To craft a successful distribution strategy, brands must emphasize a strong, relevant audience connection from start to finish. Trust is a commodity, and modern companies are in short supply of it. When it comes to making a big important purchase, B2B buyers are much more likely to trust a brand that offers a helpful, personal connection.
Marketers have to be forward-thinking and sensible about distribution, and they must recognize that different channels possess different parameters. For example, an uber-promotional “buy my product” manifesto certainly won’t y for most journalistic outlets, and a series of tweets must be repackaged if they’re to appear in a long-form medium.
While there are countless ways to go about distribution, the following four options should be seen as the fundamental building blocks of your strategy. Pick one, pick them all, or borrow elements from each to create your own mega-strategy.
Employers and employees that are connected are using antiquated internal communication tools. Email and intranets are ineffective communications vehicles.
It’s always fun to look back and reminisce, especially when you’ve got a lot to cheer about! 2014 was undoubtedly a breakthrough year for Employee Advocacy and Dynamic Signal. We’re proud to be paving the way for so many of the companies innovating within the category. In this new infographic we take a look back at the past year, our accomplishments with clients, our own team, and of course our industry leading technology platform, VoiceStorm. A huge thanks goes out to our awesome clients, investors, and our entire staff for collaborating on the final piece, we couldn’t be more excited for the year to come!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. INTRODUCTION
For many organizations the question is no longer why implement an employee
advocacy program but how do you implement an employee advocacy program.
For this reason we have partnered with Orca Social to map out what a successful implementation
program looks like. They have learnt the do’s and don’ts by both implementing projects and
profiling what other leading companies have done. Of course all companies have their differences
in their goals but the structure set out here within has been proven to work across multiple
organizations so why ‘reinvent the wheel’ ?
3. BACKGROUND
The key goals of this program are to:
1. Retain and expand revenue from existing clients
2. Raise brand awareness
3. Establish brand ambassadors
4. Align to the Digital Marketing, HR, Sales and Communications teams
It is essential to have answered these questions before beginning:
1. Does the program support the business goals?
2. Who are the main stakeholders and are they endorsing?
3. Aligned or under the radar?
4. Who will take ownership for the project?
4. GETTING STARTED
Preparation: 2-4 weeks
§ Design the 1st draft of the strategy by liaising with the key members of the program

§ Decide on tools to be used during the program
Workshop: 2 days
§ Present the strategy and roll out plan to the project stakeholders
§ Reshape the strategy
§ Decide on content
§ Decide on key markets
