Jason Spencer, Social Media Community Manager at Humana, joins the Social Pros Podcast to discuss engaging nontraditional, uniquely qualified audiences by crafting a successful employee social advocacy program.
Social Wellness and Advocacy
Social Wellness and AdvocacyBeing one of the first major healthcare providers to market on social platforms comes with its own unique set of challenges. From staying HIPAA compliant with protected personal information to keeping sensitive medical history out of public online spaces, social media is a minefield that many healthcare organizations avoid.
A combination of dedicated social customer care teams, a positive relationship with the legal department, and a formal employee advocacy training program has helped Jason maintain HIPAA compliance while cultivating a pool of pre-qualified prospects with a concrete connection to Humana.
He has also positively changed the perception of Humana’s brand by meeting customers where they are most comfortable online.
As a result of Jason’s tools and expertise, Humana has found a way to stay safe on social while keeping engagement flowing naturally which has given them a huge competitive edge up in the marketplace.

- Why developing a good relationship with customers means closing the loop on social
