How to Pay Employee Advocates and Content Creators Fairly with Heather Bussing
What happens when employee advocacy moves beyond “posting on LinkedIn” and into creating full-blown branded content? Should those employees be paid like influencers?
In this episode of Workfluencer, employment lawyer and creator Heather Bussing joins Rhona to explore how companies can compensate employee-creators fairly and compliantly.
We dig into:
Why paying employees for branded content builds trust and authenticity
How to classify and compensate employee-creators without missteps
Overtime, equity, and ownership issues every HR team should consider
Lessons from influencer contracts employees can adapt
How HR and marketing can protect employees and unlock brand value
If you’re an HR leader, TA pro, employer brand manager, or corporate content creator, this episode will help you champion employee advocacy programs the right way.
