Vos collaborateurs, vos meilleurs ambassadeurs

Les collaborateurs sont souvent les grands oubliés des plans de transformation digitale des entreprises. Et pourtant, ce sont bien eux qui ont le plus le pouvoir de changer les choses. Un message publié par un salarié c’est :

Employee advocacy - employés ambassadeurs

Employee advocacy, quesako ?

L’employee advocacy (traduction non littérale de « salarié ambassadeur ») est une technique de marque employeur qui a pour but de transformer ses salariés en ambassadeurs, notamment sur les réseaux sociaux. Pour réussir sa stratégie, quelques règles sont à respecter :

  • Se confronter à la réalité de l’engagement
  • Conquérir ses ambassadeurs
  • S’inscrire dans la durée

Là où la notion « d’employee advocacy » est novatrice, c’est dans le fait qu’il s’agit d’une démarche organisée et encadrée par les services marketing et communication. Les employés ambassadeurs sont alors encouragés, formés, voire récompensés pour leur action de représentation de la marque ou entreprise.

Dans certains cas, le processus de publication sur les comptes sociaux des employés peut être automatisé ou facilité par le biais d’une plateforme d’employee advocacy (Socially Map, So-Buzz, Smarp…) ou d’une plateforme de gestion de contenus (Hootsuite, Buffer, Agorapulse…).

Pourquoi miser sur vos employés ?

Cette nouvelle démarche s’explique par une prise de conscience sur le potentiel d’influence des salariés :

  • Augmentation de l’audience des contenus diffusés car les clients/prospects suivent davantage les collaborateurs avec lesquels ils sont en relation plutôt que l’entreprise elle-même ;
  • Un message plus personnel, qui émane d’un individu et non d’un compte entreprise ;
  • La valorisation des collaborateurs en assurant la diffusion de contenus professionnels pertinents sur leurs comptes.

A l’ère où la concurrence se renforce chaque jour, où les consommateurs sont de plus en plus volatiles et où les voies de communication se multiplient, accroître sa visibilité est vital pour n’importe quelle marque. L’uniformisation des signatures mails de tous les collaborateurs est alors l’une des étapes indispensables au développement d’une stratégie d’employee advocacy. En effet, elle profite à l’image de marque en interne, indispensable à l’activité d’une entreprise car si chaque collaborateur se sent membre d’un groupe il peut ensuite s’impliquer au maximum et véhiculer une image positive de sa marque.Les entreprises passent encore trop souvent à côté de leur atout le plus puissant pour augmenter la portée de leur contenu : leurs employés.

Questions
Fréquentes
1
Is it possible to track the number of clicks on email signatures?

Yes, with the 'Campaigns' offer, it is possible to track the number of clicks on the email signatures of all your employees in the 'Statistics' area of the platform.

You can then access a detailed or global view of the number of clicks on the email signatures of each employee. You can use the search option to target a specific signature or a given period. Finally, you have the possibility to export all statistics to an Excel document.

If you launch campaigns with banners inserted in your email signatures, you can also access their performance via this same space.

2
Can we add links to social networks, our website, and appointment-setting applications such as Calendly?

With Letsignit, you can easily add social network icons in your collaborators' email signatures and link to your company pages. Also, our "attributes" feature allows you to manage personalized URLs for each of your collaborators such as their individual LinkedIn profile.

And that's not all: you can add links to an appointment-setting application, allow your customers to leave reviews easily, and integrate our 'Chat on Teams' widget to let anyone start a discussion via Microsoft Teams chat.

3
Can employees update their signature information themselves (number, function, etc.)?

It’s up to you! As an administrator of the Letsignit platform, you choose whether or not to grant modification rights to your employees. These permissions are managed on an attribute-by-attribute basis, which means that you can decide to allow the employee to change their phone number, but not the address of your premises, for example.

This feature applies to all attributes in your directory, including custom attributes created on Letsignit. When your employees change one or more attributes, your directory is obviously not affected.

4
Why it is important to standardize our email signatures on a large scale to ensure our identity and brand image?

It often happens that employees make their email signature their own: custom format, bad fonts, colors inconsistent with the brand standards... all of this has an impact on your brand!

A consistent visual identity is considered authentic and outperforms a perceived weak one by 20%. And, your customers are 2.4 times more likely to buy your products.

With Letsignit, take back control over your brand identity by standardizing all your email signatures. Our tool has many features that allow you to customize your signatures by department, by audience or by subsidiary. Not to mention the possibility of carrying out campaigns within your email signatures thanks to our Campaign offer.

What is the user experience like for our employees?

What is the user experience like for our employees?

  • If you opt for the Letsignit Add-in for Outlook, they will have a dedicated space in their Outlook account where they will be able to view the signatures and campaigns assigned to them.
  • If you opt for the Letsignit Desktop APP, they will be able to preview all their signatures and campaigns in this space. If they want to change their default signature to another one when sending an email, this will be done in their signature library in Outlook.

In both cases:

  • They preview their signature before sending an email and choose from signatures assigned to them.
  • Based on the permissions granted, they will also be able to modify their personal information such as their name, position, or address in these spaces.

In short, they have autonomy in their email signature, but you keep control on the field, signatures, and banners they can edit or use.

Can my employees have multiple signatures available to them?

With our "multi-signature" feature, your employees can benefit from multiple email signatures. No technical manipulation is required. Thanks to our Add-in for Outlook or the desktop app, they can change their email signatures as they wish with just a few clicks.

Regarding the creation of email signatures, you can make several variations such as:

Everything has been thought of to go further in the personalization process based on the recipient of your emails.

7
Regarding “Green IT,” have you implemented measures to limit the digital footprint of email signatures?

If sending emails has an impact, non-optimized email signatures also have an impact. An unsuitable format or an image that is too heavy considerably increases the size of your signatures... and therefore, your emails.

As a responsible economic actor, we contribute to reducing our CO2 emissions and those of our customers in several ways:

  • Optimization of the weight of signatures and campaigns in emails.
  • Green features: lightening of signatures during response/transfer emails, possibility of not embedding images, implementation of lighter signatures for internal exchanges.
  • Integration of a 'Switch to Teams' widget to encourage your employees to continue their exchanges via chat, rather than email.

As we are increasingly involved in sustainability initiatives, our priority in 2023 is to develop even more green IT functionality.
