Out of Sight, Still in Sync – Managing an Advocacy Program for Remote and Global Teams

For most employee advocacy program leaders, you likely don’t have the luxury of walking by each colleague's desk to train them on advocacy. So, how can we keep advocates engaged when part of a global or fully remote team?

In this episode of Behind the Post, we sit down with Josh Silverman, the Social Media and Digital Coordinator at Pontoon Solutions, to uncover how he’s built an employee advocacy program that truly resonates across continents and time zones. 

With colleagues scattered around the world, Josh had to get creative to keep everyone engaged. From on-demand training videos (now trimmed to a super-efficient 7 minutes) to anonymous surveys that gather valuable feedback, he’s developed strategies that make it easy for employees to confidently share company content—even without the benefit of face-to-face training and interaction.

One standout story? One of Josh's advocates saw an incredible 600% growth in their LinkedIn network in just a year, simply by consistently sharing valuable content with their network.

Tune in to hear Josh’s top tips for training advocates, building their confidence on social media, curating engaging content, and sustaining excitement for the program over time.
