Employees who are looking to post on their personal social media platforms, but feel hesitant about getting messaging right also have access to a wide range of resources. The company’ s centralised advocacy tool gives staff access to pre-approved posts on culture or product news, which can be scheduled directly onto their social media platforms. By creating avenues for personal storytelling, the company has created opportunities to promote its employee brand throughout its multi-generational workforce. Much of this hinges on having a culture of inclusion – which Francine Katsoudas,
Chief People, Policy and Purpose Officer has championed throughout her tenure. Having a culture where employees can have a positive experience – which Francine has previously referred to as the company’ s“ conscious culture” – creates an environment where employees want to share their experiences and naturally act as an advocate for their company’ s brand.“ It’ s this culture that empowers our people to tackle the biggest challenges and opportunities,” she shared the company’ s Corporate Social Responsibility report.“ It creates an environment where we can develop cutting-edge solutions for our customers, thereby helping them to overcome their toughest obstacles.”
