Episode Summary
“An advocacy program takes a lot of personal commitment and consistency to scale and sustain it. Remember, we are dealing here with humans, not just algorithms.”
This week on Behind the Post, we’re getting supercharged with Eeshita Mittal, Marketing Manager at HCLTech and the driving force behind the Supercharged Ambassadors Club, HCLTech’s employee advocacy program that’s redefining talent attraction and retention in the B2B tech space.
Eeshita shares how this purpose-driven initiative evolved from a pilot to a global community of 200+ employees across 25+ countries. From fresh grads to senior VPs, the program spans functions, geographies, and career stages, making it more than just advocacy; it’s a movement.
