The Challenges of Employee Advocacy for
Retail and Consumer Goods
You want to stand out from your competitors on social media, especially in a saturated industry like retail.
Meanwhile you’re looking to attract quality candidates for your open positions.
So you’ve decided that authentic content from employees is the way to go.
Why?
It’ll boost your social media reach, leading to increased sales, while giving a positive impression of your company culture to potential recruits.
But…
Although you want your employees to be empowered to create social media content, what happens if they post something inappropriate?
The last thing you need is a PR nightmare.
How can you monitor the content your employees create and share to make sure it’s on-brand and legally compliant?
With a small team of 10-50 employees, a manual employee advocacy program is manageable…
But when it comes to about consumer goods businesses with over 500 employees?
That’s when you need an employee advocacy platform.
The Solution
Start with creating a clear social media policy that outlines what employees can and can’t post online.
Provide training and support, letting your employees that you’re actively encouraging them to build personal brands.
Now it’s time to make it easy for them to create and share on-brand content.
DSMN8’s All-in-One Employee Advocacy Platform helps you master employee-generated content, authentically showcase your company culture, reach and influence top talent, and engage your workforce like never before.

Combine this with 92% of consumers trusting peer recommendations, even from those they don’t know, over brand content (Expert Voice, Psychology of Brand Trust). Then you can see the potential impact an effective employee advocacy program can have!

Showcase your company culture in the most authentic way.
It's no secret that quality candidates will check out your company social media pages before applying for a job. When they look, what will they see? Will they see staged stock photography, or will they get a genuine feel of what it's like to work for your company?
Workplace happiness and job satisfaction are hugely important factors for the emerging workforce. Reading is one thing, but seeing behind-the-scenes content is how quality candidates really get to know their future colleagues.
Encouraging employees to create photo and video content of those special behind-the-scenes moments is the perfect way to source authentic company culture content at scale.

• Native Image Sharing • Centralized Dashboard
Ensure maximum reach of every job opportunity shared.
With our Employee Advocacy Platform, we'll help you grow your social share of voice, by making it easy for your employees to be more active on their professional social networks.
The basic theory of employee advocacy is that a company's employees have a cumulative following of more than 10x the company's corporate accounts. By getting your employees to share, the potential reach of your content will significantly broaden, with results of up to 561% recorded!
In a Glassdoor study, 76% of decision-makers said that attracting quality candidates was their biggest challenge. Well, what if it's because those quality candidates aren't seeing your posts advertising a vacancy?
According to Linkedin data, over 75% of people who recently changed jobs used Linkedin to inform their decision. Recruits sourced on Linkedin were 40% less likely to leave the company within the first six months.
Sharing job opportunities via your employees means that top candidates are more likely to see them. They're more likely to engage too!
Features That Make This Possible:
