Stephen Dooley’s Post

I’m looking forward to hosting Institute of Internal Communication’s series of four webinars this autumn, taking us up to December. We’re covering four critical comms topics: trust, activism, strategy and change. All will be great, and the panels are brilliant. Take a look on the IoIC website (Events) for more info and to book a place. The first one is on trust on 23 September. I don’t think we delve enough into activism. Employees have a growing passion to work for ethical, socially conscious organisations. People want to know a potential employer’s values reflect their own. Organisations need to take a stance on the big issues. What do you want me to ask the panel?

The Balancing Act of Employee Activism 🛂☕ Looking forward to being on this distinguished panel held by the Institute of Internal Communication. This following my piece for The HR World on the aftermath of the UK riots and speaking out on discrimination and attacks (link here https://lnkd.in/ep8b8U-J) Employee activism I feel can be a powerful force for positive change within organisations. By advocating for fair treatment, better working conditions, and ethical practices, employees can improve morale, productivity, and overall company reputation. The data says it helps with engagement and trust! However, activism can also present challenges - such as potential retaliation, job insecurity, and the risk of alienating colleagues or management. So, whose responsibility is it in balancing the desire for change - with the need to maintain a positive working environment is essential for effective #employeeactivism This and more things bound to come up in this Zoom panel.

Did you know that an employee's personal network is, on average, 10 times larger than a company's? This means that when your team shares your company's vision, values and achievements, it not only amplifies the brand's reach but also builds deeper, more authentic connections.    Encouraging employee advocacy is simple: empower your team with shareable content, foster a culture of trust and recognise their powerful impact as brand advocates.    #EmployeeAdvocacy #CompanyCulture #Leadership
