1. As PR professionals, it's our job to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to industry trends &shifts. One trend that's increasingly important for us to pay attention to is the rise of employee advocacy
2. By empowering our clients' employees to share their stories and experiences, we can create a more authentic and engaging narrative for our brands. But how do we do this effectively?
3. One key is to focus on employee training and education. This means providing employees with the tools and resources they need to effectively communicate on behalf of the company, whether it's through social media, blog posts, or other channels.

Letās get 1st thing straight - this š§µ is no insight into the near 15 yrs #advocates fought for #paidfamilyleave at the CO state Capitol before #voters passed it on the #ballot
I, like many folks - came into the advocacy for #FAMLI yrs after lots of fight. Grateful to have it

Many of us worked on the #ballotmeasure in 2020 & #voters approved the program by 57% of the vote āØ the amount of barriers set in place to #advocate for #paidfamilyleave & #pass it & then #implement it - have been eye opening š to say the least. #copilitics

Learned so much in this evening's @AACI_Cancer@ webinar on physician use of social media! Dr. @fumikochino highlighted sev successful research collaborations that began via #SoMe & said that Twitter has helped a lot with the "hustle" all #MedTwitter junior faculty face.
Dr. @SyedAAhmad5, who began tweeting during the #pandemic, highlighted opportunities to expand reach of #MedEd via #SoMe. For example, he taught this to #MedStudentTwitter, then realized there was no reason the learning needed to be confined to his operating room. cc @AACI_Cancer
Drs. @Jasosamd, @fumikochino, & @SyedAAhmad5 provided examples of using #SoMe to inform #MedTwitter, #SurgTwitter, & the pt #advocacy community about one's own research, as well as to promote the work of colleagues, esp mentees.

Part 2 of ACP-Medicine Forward series on solutions to #FixPriorAuth happening now w/ amazing lineup! @gabrieldane, co-founder w/ @EricTopol of @MedicineForward, kicks off the mtg w/ comments about urgency of #MedTwitter #advocacy & activism to protect dr-patient relationship.
Dr. @ShikhaJainMD is orienting audience to the amt of time #MedTwitter spends doing prior auth & peer-to-peer calls, in many cases w/ insurance company "peers" w/ no training in the specialty. Some could not even pronounce the tumor type or drug name. #DenialOfCare #FixPriorAuth
Dr. @ShikhaJainMD says that she cares for a patient with #cancer whose insurance company only allow 4 CT scans LIFETIME for their #cancer, which prevents her from assessing how well the treatment is working. This is absurd & MUST be fixed. #DenialOfCare #FixPriorAuth #MedTwitter
La #comunitĆ ? C'est moi. Il limite del #terzosettore nel pensarsi come solo interprete delle dinamiche sociali territoriali (anche per mancanza di strumenti di lettura e azione). Inizia col botto la sessione di lavoro di @progetto_fqts
1/di non so quanti: molte, piĆ¹ che #comunitĆ , sono partenariati di progetto "artificiali" per intercettare risorse top down. Filantropiche soprattutto. E su questo bisognerebbe interrogarsi: ĆØ possibile un "salto di stato" da rete a comunitĆ ? #comunitĆ dovesei
2/di non so quanti: s'invoca la capacitĆ di #mediazione come via principale per il "ritorno alla #comunitĆ " da parte del #terzosettore. Ma con la sola mediazione, soprattutto in contesti deprivati, non si va da molte parti #comunitĆ dovesei

It is confusing, difficult and sometimes traumatic entering care. An #independentadvocate is there to be on the child's side. It is someone to represent their needs and wishes so that they are central in making and reviewing care plans.
Running @whocaresscot I saw firsthand how advocacy was a life-line for people in the most vulnerable situations. It gave them hope and built trust when they saw they were heard.
Having a voice over decisions that affect you is a cornerstone of children's rights.
