Motivate employees to review your company on DEVworkplaces.com.
Employee reviews are the most credible representation of your employer branding and recruiting efforts. That's why it's crucial to encourage employees to share their feedback on your DEVworkplaces.com employer profile, which will contribute to a well-rounded portrayal of your company.
Negative reviews on your DEVworkplaces.com employer profile can be frustrating - we understand that. However, solely having a string of 5-star ratings doesn't present a particularly credible image. Job seekers desire a balanced evaluation. So, how can you establish a nuanced and authentic representation of your company? To maintain the right balance of reviews on your company profile and provide job applicants with a realistic impression, you can approach your current employees and ask them to submit their own reviews on DEVworkplaces.com.
To succeed in this endeavor, we have some tips on how to motivate employees to review your company on DEVworkplaces.com.
Firstly, we recommend always issuing review requests in a neutral and non-biased manner. This way, you'll receive feedback from employees that truly benefits you - both in gaining a better understanding and in showcasing your company more clearly to potential applicants.
Review Requests: Utilize Special Milestones as Opportunities If you have always emphasized being an understanding employer and fostering a healthy work environment, it should be relatively easy to persuade your employees to review your company. Special occasions or milestones can provide that final push needed for employees to reflect on their experiences and actually submit a review. Take advantage of such events to approach your employees, such as:
- Successful completion of onboarding or probation periods
- Three (six, twelve...) months of tenure in the company
- Service anniversaries
- Annual performance reviews
Explain to your employees why they also benefit from submitting a review It's essential to provide your employees with some background information. Explain to them why you're requesting a review and how it benefits them as well. Otherwise, they may perceive it as a one-sided advantage for you, with no consideration for their interests.
So, how can your employees benefit from submitting a review? Firstly, it's advantageous for all employees when your company has a well-balanced and authentic review presence on DEVworkplaces.com. A positive perception spreads within the company, contributing to a favorable work environment. Moreover, an authentic and balanced employer representation attracts suitable talent - and your employees surely want only the right candidates to apply for new roles within their teams! This way, they also gain colleagues with whom they have good chemistry.
Right Time, Right Place - Choose the Appropriate Moment As with any request, timing, method, and frequency matter. Each company is unique, but we believe there is a general approach suitable for all companies. Communicate your request through various channels and at regular intervals. While asking the entire company via email to submit reviews once a year is better than nothing, additional friendly reminders sent throughout the year by managers through internal messaging platforms like Slack are even more effective.
Use Your Email Signature as a Bulletin Board Your email signature provides another simple way to ask employees for reviews. The advantage here is that it requires minimal effort on your part and doesn't impose anything on anyone. Once you set up the request in your signature, you can share it with other managers and HR staff, asking them to include it in their email signatures as well. A short sentence with the link to your company profile is sufficient:
"Review [Your Company] on DEVworkplaces.com"
Summary To encourage your employees to submit employer reviews on DEVworkplaces.com, provide them with both a reason and an opportunity to share their feedback with others. This is best achieved by fostering a well-established feedback culture within your company from the start. Ultimately, your employees need to be confident that their employer reviews on DEVworkplaces.com (anonymous) are valued and serve the collective benefit.
