The survey, which is managed by LinkedIn, has looked at how members on LinkedIn engage with content and has named Skanska, together with Ericsson and Spotify, as the top Swedish brands in this leading platform for professional networking.
Skanska has been on LinkedIn for a number of years, but it was only in August 2013 that we decided on a strategy and active presence in this social media channel. Our main purpose of being on LinkedIn is to listen and engage with various stakeholders and the public about our people and projects around building the society of tomorrow.
A strong Skanska presence
Through a global account we post stories about our projects, people and values from around the Skanska world to currently some 123,000 followers. The account is used and managed by Skanska AB, Sweden, Norway and UK. There are also a number of market specific LinkedIn accounts, for example Skanska USA with over 43,000 followers, which adds to a strong overall presence.
But the evaluation is not of the content itself but how people engage with it, in terms of liking, commenting and sharing it, which means all our colleagues who follow Skanska on LinkedIn have played a big part in this commendation. So thank you all for engaging!
