What to do before you launch an Employee Advocacy program

 

Previously, I shared the benefits of employee advocacy to organizations. I also shared how it benefits the employees THIS VIDEO.

Before you get into the process of starting an employee advocacy program here are some things you must check and ask yourself.
1. Do you listen to your employees? Employees want to feel heard. If they don't feel heard, they will not speak up about your organization.


2. How are your organization's work culture and environment. Do you give employees the chance to grow? Do you provide what they need to be successful at their jobs? Do they get involved in the decision-making process or brainstorming sessions? Is it an open-door policy? Do people work on eggshells around management?
Your work culture must be inclusive, positive, inspiring...if not, employees will not be your advocates.


3. Are employees satisfied with their jobs? How is their pay? How about benefits? Do they feel micromanaged? If employees lack satisfaction at their jobs, they will not advocate for your organization.
