Script and video examples to inspire your company's employee stories!
Explanation and strategy
- Employee stories are all about your team and who they are. Why are they with your business? Why are they important to your business? Who are they outside of your business?
- Interviewing your employees and asking them open ended experience questions, allow them to talk about their life within your business, to show their personality and to entice others like them to join your business
- If you can create content with the story of current/future employees as the outcome, you end up driving the right people to your content
Example script
'Interview style' video
Interview videos can be a relaxed and authentic way to share employee stories! Your interviewer (most likely a colleague!) can be in the video with the employee or behind the camera asking questions from off screen.
Alternatively, employees can create an interview feel without needing an actual interviewer. This is achieved by employees inserting their scripted questions in the teleprompter and answering these conversationally. Questions can also be added as text captions when editing the video.
You may wish to include questions and share information that isn't simply about the role and contribution to the company. You may decide to include questions around values, motivations, interests outside of work, growing up, family and even study life!
