Employees as Marketers: Using Engagement to Build Brands

Posted on January 31st, 2012 in Unemployment News | No Comments »

(From PRWEB) — BI WORLDWIDE, a global business improvement company, recently released an article called Employees as Marketers discussing employee engagement’s impact on building a solid brand. The article was written by Lorraine Frias, interactive promotions strategist at BI WORLDWIDE. “Large companies spend millions of dollars annually building and maintaining their brand,” Frias said. But sometimes they forget to acknowledge the connection between the employee experience and the customer experience. According to Frias, “organizations need to view employees as marketers of their product, service or brand, regardless of their position in the company.” Employee engagement programs can greatly improve the way employees interact with customers on the front-lines. Frias said “companies need to use both extrinsic and intrinsic motivators to drive behavior change and motivate employees.” Extrinsic motivation comes from influences outside of oneself such as an incentive program that motivates employees to sell certain products or rewards an individual for high performance behavior. This type of motivation also comes from the fear of a poor performance review or the threat of being laid off. Read more .
