The Social Moment: The moment when an organization realizes that social business is mainstream and integral to its future success.

Having experienced its 'Social Moment' and embracing the social business journey, EQengineered was been able to outfit its team with the ability to:

  • activate and optimize their social identity,

  • grow and deepen their networks,

  • become original content creators,

  • develop online audience, reputation, authority and influence, and

  • make it part of daily business behavior.

Discovering social business value in employee relationships requires an investment in the skills, knowledge and understanding of the employees. The investment must also be transparent and personal with no expectation of reciprocity.

By training in the core social media skills and business communications needed to compete and be effective, EQengineered has seen benefits including improved employee engagement and employee advocacy on behalf of the brand.
