CRITICISM
• Natural aspect of ANY campaign• Some will love it, some won’t. It’s a
reality. Accept it. Get over it.• A negative response is a cry for
help AND an acknowledgement they care
![Page 20: Personal Branding and Enhancing Employee Relations with Social Media](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070301/5463fe2caf795988338b4738/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

HANDLING NEGATIVE COMMENTS
• Respond quickly and politely.• It is better you know what people are
saying than to ignore it– Enter into the dialogue– Tell your side of the story
• Transform your enemies into advocates– People react and transform when they
realise they’re talking to a ‘person’ and not a machine/organisation/corporation

But…• Employees will
embarrass your company if left to their own devices
• Employee misuse using it during work time.
• Possibility of negative comments about the company.
• Legal concerns
So…• They use all forms of
digital media already. If they could, they would.
• Use results-driven measures, not activity-driven measures for employees
• This could be happening anyway. You just don’t know about it.
• You are in control, you get to create the Policy
CONCERNS

BABY STEPS
• Slow & Steady• Experiment with a few• See what’s pertinent and relevant and what’s
not.• Expect mistakes and failures – they help you
grow• Understand that you have to BUILD success• Do it One conversation at a time if you have to.
But DO IT.

Companies resist social media engagement for the same reason
people resist authentic, loving relationships — a fear of intimacy.
