Encourage Staff to Like and Share

Posted on April 24, 2019 by Jenna Kellerman

Having an active social media presence is important for recruitment and community engagement. Social media is most impactful when it is shared with others - so get your staff involved! One LeadingAge Minnesota Workforce Solutions Grantee, Mother of Mercy in Albany, focused their Workforce Solutions Grant on a digital media campaign.  

Through research, this team found that 82 percent of younger job seekers visit review sites while researching an employer’s brand. As a result, the organization posted positive video reviews and other fun videos recorded by staff. Mother of Mercy also created a mobile-friendly application and invested in paid advertisements on Facebook. Within one year, the team saw incredible results.
