Ensure there is visible and communicated affirmation and support for employees such that they buy into your advocacy programmes; 3. Embark on purposeful analysis and social media experimentation to understand the current state of your organisation and to identify future requirements that enable employee participation; 4. Sustain participation through employee training, support and influential leadership. Yekemi combines her engineering and MBA (Distinction) degrees for a unique perspective.
