As author Emily Giffin once said, “Everyone wants to belong, or be a part of something bigger than themselves, but it's important to follow your heart and be true to yourself in the process.” This quote perfectly sums up what employee advocacy is all about: empowering employees to promote their company's message on social media and, in the process, allowing them to develop their personal brand, and position themselves as trusted advisors and thought leaders in their own networks. Dell, InfusionSoft, SAP, and United Way, among others, are putting employee advocacy to work with the help of EveryoneSocial, the leading platform for employee advocacy and first to solely focus on the employee and employee advocacy. Founded in 2013, EveryoneSocial makes it easy for your employee and brand advocates to share original and curated content on social media, helping you to align, simplify, and measure your company’s social publishing efforts. You’ll want to join us on our exclusive, live webinar with EveryoneSocial to discuss: · Identifying your employee advocacy objectives · Educating and motivating your employee and brand advocates · Giving advocates guidelines and tools for social advocacy success · Defining the employee advocacy metrics to track
