Why Employee Advocacy is Important

Employee advocacy is more than just a buzzword. The buyer and the buying journey has evolved, and we as human beings have evolved thanks to the IOT. In today’s digital world, we have so much information at our fingertips which serves to influence our purchasing decisions.

When we shop online, how important are reviews to you? I know for a fact when I research products on Amazon, the customer reviews have a huge part to play in my purchasing decision.

To reinforce this, nelson.com reported that 84% of consumers value recommendations from friends and family above all forms of advertising, plus 77% of consumers are likely to make a purchase after hearing about it from someone they trust - which is where employee advocacy comes in.

Employee advocacy can help when it comes to brand reach and influencing your audience, as well as lead generation, talent attraction, and employee morale.

Now, employee advocacy has been around for some time, but many struggle with the concept of it as they don’t know where to start. Check out our 7-step plan here.
