Tips for encouraging employees to share brand messages
Your workers are key ambassadors for your brand, especially on social media. However, you must provide clear guidelines to ensure the right message comes through online.
One scroll down your social media feeds and you’ll notice that even though many brands strive for a personal approach on their social media profiles, they fail to achieve that goal or secure a genuine connection with their audience.
