Together Stronger
The foundation of the Journey Committee and Emery Sapp & Sons (ESS) as a whole, rely on one effective framework: educate, communicate and motivate. We used these principles to advocate for our employee-owners this ESOP month. It was jam-packed with all the ESOP essentials to show our ESS family why we are always, Together Stronger. Let’s look back on some of our favorite highlights from October!
EDUCATE
To build on our theme of Together Stronger, last month we produced an educational video series including 4 episodes full of ESOP goodies. This series was designed and implemented to expand your understanding of our ESOP and why working together remains at the core of everything we do as employee-owners. We believe it’s important for everyone to be informed about our industry-leading wealth building tool. If you haven’t already, dive into the details of each episode below:
Episode 1: What the Heck is an ESOP?
Episode 3: ESOP Vesting & Payouts
Episode 4: Your Wealth
COMMUNICATE
Another big part of our campaign strategy starts by asking the question “how can we reach you?” By reach, we mean how our company makes sure you see and engage with the important ESOP content we’re delivering. In a nutshell, we use a combination of dynamic messaging, communication tools, and social media activity to drive employee-owner engagement. Here are some impressive results from our ESOP month campaign:
- We reached more than 17,876 people on all social media platforms
- We sent a total of 11,449 emails and texts
- We had more than 1,096 views on all 4 ESOP educational videos
- We had more than 2,181 engagements with our ESOP content. Thanks for all your clicks, comments and shares!
MOTIVATE
In celebration of ESOP month, ESS hosted a trick shot challenge that invited employee-owners to show us their creative side…or not so creative side. We’ll let you decide that one.
We’re impressed with all of the submissions we received last month for the #TogetherStronger Challenge. We don’t know any other company that balances work and play as well as we do. Thank you to all of our employee-owners for creating these epic trick shots that we hope to look back on for years to come.
