3 ways an engaged alumni program improves your brand

Improve your Employer Value Proposition

Showing you value your alumni will prove you value your employees' lifetime experience. Offering exclusive resources, events and content to your alumni sets you apart and establishes you as employer of choice in your industry.

A Channel for Advocacy

Creating a strong bond with your alumni turns them into brand ambassadors. Do this by keeping them up to date with what’s going on within the business, offering them opportunities and rewards, or bringing them back into the organization through networking events.

Manage your Message

Whether it’s on LinkedIn or Glassdoor, your alumni are already talking about you: make sure you’re leading the conversation. Stay in front of the news agenda and hearsay by sharing the right messages at the time, place and manner that suits you best.

Targeted Messaging

Groups, lists and a personalized feed allows you to target your content to specific alumni based on their unique data, such as their current and past employment data, as well as their interactions within the network. You can also reach them directly through content and events management features.

Alumni Offers

Seeing how you treat employees who have left goes a long way in showing how you value your future employees. A marketplace allows you to sustain the relationship by offering perks, promotional materials, continued education programs or referral rewards.

Be Always to Hand

Reach your alumni directly by getting a branded app on to their mobile phone. They can access all features on the move, from receiving targeted messages, alumni search and event information. You get direct access to an audience receptive to the brand message you want to broadcast.

Manage your online reputation

Your alumni program provides valuable insights into what your former employees are saying about your organization. Our platform enables them to rate their experience, address any concerns so you can proactively resolve issues, and encourages the most satisfied alumni to leave positive reviews on Glassdoor.

“The reason and the power for an Alumni Program is that our people are our best brand ambassadors. If we make the Alumni Program reflective of our cultures and our values, and we can have the thousands of our alumni talking in their organizations about how we’re doing and what we do: there's nothing more powerful than that.”
