DRIVE SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT FROM YOUR EMPLOYEES 
Using 4 Simple Tactics
One challenge that many businesses 
face is how to increase engagement on 
their social media platforms. Its great to 
create engaging content, but if its not 
being posted, shared, or liked on social 
media platforms, its essentially useless.

Best practices indicate that social share 
icons that tally how many people have 
shared content increases virality. But 
there is an inherent risk in pulling back 
the curtain on the number of shares your 
content is receiving.
What do you do? 
employee We've found that 
engagement 
is a key component to 
increasing this kind of 
engagement.
Most companies  especially B2Bs  
are wary of asking employees to share 
blog content. Businesses need to reset 
this frame of mind because it is their 
employees that will give content the legs 
it needs to reach potential clients. 
Companies should consider employing a 
content advocacy program. 
We found that the following steps were 
helpful in gaining acceptance.
1. Identify a Point Person 
Every well-planned project 
or program has a captain 
of the ship. Select a point 
person who will steer the 
content and social media 
efforts in the right direction. 
This individual should have 
some knowledge and 
experience working with 
social media channels.
If this type of person does 
not exist in your company, 
provide education and 
training to staff to get the 
process started.
2. Inclusion Increases Acceptance 
Gather the key employees 
who would share content. 
Outline your content 
strategy. Collaborate around 
goals, messaging, and 
milestones. When 
employees are a part of this 
process, they will be more 
open to sharing your content 
via social media.
Most employees dont realize the direct 
correlation between blogs and potential 
clients. 
Using very basic analytics, you can outline 
how your content is driving leads.
3. Make the Process Simple 
At HLD, we have implemented an RSS 
feed that sends an email to employees 
when a new blog post is live on the 
website, a subtle reminder for them to 
share our content. We also added 
widgets that make the sharing process 
as simple as a click followed by a self-generated 
message. Although we 
encourage our employees to customize 
their messaging, sometimes this task 
can be very overwhelming, especially on 
a busy day.
Additionally, we encourage 
employees to share our 
content via social media 
platforms where they feel most 
comfortable distributing it. Its 
no surprise that LinkedIn, 
which is of course a business-oriented 
social platform, 
receives more shares of this 
content than Facebook.
4. Provide Validation 
Increased social media shares 
for your content legitimizes 
your organizations message. 
Its important to share this data 
with employees. Show them 
how the content is performing 
and how their efforts are an 
instrumental first push to 
creating shareable content that 
reaches potential clients.
The more involvement you receive from your 
company, the better this content will perform. When 
your management and employees begin to realize 
that the dynamics of social influence are 
operational  not merely theoretical  acceptance 
and adoption will become much easier.
The content posted and shared 
through social media can take 
many different forms. 
Tapping into your companys 
blogs, videos, photos and 
events will open up even more 
opportunities for employees 
to get involved.
