When looking up the word “Company”, the definition one comes across is “a number of individuals assembled or associated together; group of people”. The human factor is key to all corporations and, as clearly highlighted by the recent economic crisis, a catalytic one. However, in everyday business reality, the key audience of employees often gets overlooked, despite its default role as a “corporate image ambassador”, and despite the fact that the role of employees as “opinion formers” is being reinforced by the fast growing social media platforms, which are offering individuals a far more active role in the construction of their employers’ image.
