  • Ensure each member of staff has selected your company profile as their employer
  • Optimise your company profile on LinkedIn
  • Encourage all your team(s), regardless of field, to have a LinkedIn profile, as even your receptionist is selling professional services
  • However, perhaps suggest that your employees change their contact settings to exclude open to job offers
  • Enact a social media policy that allows your team(s) to get involved in all that LinkedIn has to offer but ensure they are mindful of their status as a representative of your company
