But decoding its language and finding the right tone to stand out isn&#8217;t always straightforward. Here are three angles to work with.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Team Camaraderie<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first content pillar is humor-driven. It aims to showcase the bond between team members. The trends themselves aren&#8217;t specific to the workplace, but they translate really well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, the &#8220;AirPod Switch&#8221; trend features two colleagues crossing paths, bumping into each other, and &#8220;accidentally&#8221; swapping earbuds. The video shows each person&#8217;s reaction as they discover the other&#8217;s unexpected or unlikely music taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@corzenthq\/video\/7623337251396734228\" data-video-id=\"7623337251396734228\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@corzenthq\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@corzenthq?refer=embed\">@corzenthq<\/a> <p>POV : You switch airpods with a coworker \ud83d\ude02 <a title=\"airpodswap\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/airpodswap?refer=embed\">#airpodswap<\/a> <a title=\"softwareengineering\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/softwareengineering?refer=embed\">#softwareengineering<\/a> <a title=\"developer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/developer?refer=embed\">#developer<\/a> <a title=\"workhumor\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/workhumor?refer=embed\">#workhumor<\/a> <a title=\"lifeatcorzent\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/lifeatcorzent?refer=embed\">#lifeatcorzent<\/a><\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - CorzentHQ - CorzentHQ\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-CorzentHQ-7623337296167144199?refer=embed\">\u266c original sound &#8211; CorzentHQ &#8211; CorzentHQ<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another &#8220;humorous&#8221; trend that involves multiple employees is the &#8220;Tone Challenge.&#8221; A team gathers and each member reads the same hollow corporate phrase (something like &#8220;As mentioned in my last email&#8230;&#8221;) but with an assigned emotion: angry, sad, dramatic \u2014 set to appropriately dramatic music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last two suggestions lend themselves beautifully to team building. The &#8220;What type of employee are you&#8221; video features classic office archetypes: the one who&#8217;s always late, the one who&#8217;s always snacking, and so on. The &#8220;Shake hands with the person who&#8230;&#8221; version makes it more interactive, as employees draw an employee type and then go find that person to greet them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@grantcardone\/video\/7647478624639094029\" data-video-id=\"7647478624639094029\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@grantcardone\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@grantcardone?refer=embed\">@grantcardone<\/a> <p>\u201cShake hands with the person who\u2026\u201d 10X team edition \ud83d\ude02\ud83e\udd1d<\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - Grant Cardone\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7647479046523128590?refer=embed\">\u266c original sound &#8211; Grant Cardone<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Self-Deprecation and Honest Cynicism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second content pillar is self-deprecation. Rather than putting work life on a pedestal, you speak more candidly about what annoys you at work, without taking yourself too seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Videos with anxiety-inducing background music highlighting an unpleasant moment in office life always get a reaction. The subtext reads something like: &#8220;Getting a surprise meeting invite from your manager with no agenda at 4:30 PM,&#8221; &#8220;Watching the &#8216;typing&#8230;&#8217; indicator on Teams for three straight minutes,&#8221; &#8220;When a colleague&#8217;s Teams\/Slack status turns red right when you need to ask them something.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people like to show they stay &#8220;cool&#8221; despite the relentless chaos of work, through the &#8220;POV: I&#8217;m listening to music and ignoring the chaos at work&#8221; trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@briandelosrios\/video\/7608102680921230614\" data-video-id=\"7608102680921230614\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@briandelosrios\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@briandelosrios?refer=embed\">@briandelosrios<\/a> <p>POV: I\u2019m listening to music and ignoring the chaos at work. <a title=\"worklife\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/worklife?refer=embed\">#worklife<\/a> <a title=\"vibes\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/vibes?refer=embed\">#vibes<\/a> <a title=\"work\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/work?refer=embed\">#work<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - DaUndeadwarrior\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7548745775108606742?refer=embed\">\u266c original sound &#8211; DaUndeadwarrior<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the hashtag &#8220;#unannouncedteamscall,&#8221; employees dramatize their panic at being unexpectedly called into a Teams meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@_jenny_jean\/video\/7494295385381342510\" data-video-id=\"7494295385381342510\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@_jenny_jean\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@_jenny_jean?refer=embed\">@_jenny_jean<\/a> <p>When your boss unexpectedly calls you on teams \ud83e\udd23 <a title=\"wfh\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/wfh?refer=embed\">#wfh<\/a> <a title=\"workingmom\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/workingmom?refer=embed\">#workingmom<\/a> <a title=\"funnyaf\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/funnyaf?refer=embed\">#funnyaf<\/a> <a title=\"workfromhome\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/workfromhome?refer=embed\">#workfromhome<\/a> <a title=\"relatable\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/relatable?refer=embed\">#relatable<\/a> <a title=\"jokes\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/jokes?refer=embed\">#jokes<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - The Real DBow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7133967710714809134?refer=embed\">\u266c original sound &#8211; The Real DBow<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Behind-the-Scenes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More broadly, there&#8217;s an entire content segment dedicated to offering a behind-the-scenes look at a professional career or workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From a career perspective, here are some popular themes that perform well on TikTok:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;How I Got My Job,&#8221; where the employee shares the story of how they landed their position,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Career Transparency,&#8221; where the employee reveals insider insights about their profession, sometimes including salary,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>or the &#8220;Career Timeline,&#8221; where the employee walks through their professional journey chronologically, backed by personal photos along the way.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@abiplat\/video\/7521393511724240158\" data-video-id=\"7521393511724240158\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@abiplat\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@abiplat?refer=embed\">@abiplat<\/a> <p>How I landed a job in social media with little expeirence \ud83e\udd0d <a title=\"socialmediamarketing\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/socialmediamarketing?refer=embed\">#socialmediamarketing<\/a> <a title=\"marketingjobs\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/marketingjobs?refer=embed\">#marketingjobs<\/a> <a title=\"resumetips\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/resumetips?refer=embed\">#resumetips<\/a> <a title=\"jobsearch\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/jobsearch?refer=embed\">#jobsearch<\/a> <a title=\"creatorsearchinsights\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/creatorsearchinsights?refer=embed\">#creatorsearchinsights<\/a> <\/p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c Sweat and Hustle - The Brazilians of Bossa Nova\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/Sweat-and-Hustle-7403092299134699536?refer=embed\">\u266c Sweat and Hustle &#8211; The Brazilians of Bossa Nova<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now go create your own content&#8230; and good luck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\" content_cards_card content_cards_domain_training-isarta-com\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content_cards_image\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"content_cards_image_link\" href=\"https:\/\/training.isarta.com\/class?categories=SOCIAL_NETWORKS\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/training.isarta.com\/images\/entete.jpg\" alt=\"Social Networks Trainings - Online, Canada | Isarta\">\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"content_cards_title\">\n\t\t<a class=\"content_cards_title_link\" href=\"https:\/\/training.isarta.com\/class?categories=SOCIAL_NETWORKS\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\tSocial Networks Trainings - Online, Canada | Isarta\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"content_cards_description\">\n\t\t<a class=\"content_cards_description_link\" href=\"https:\/\/training.isarta.com\/class?categories=SOCIAL_NETWORKS\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t<p>Training in marketing, communication, digital, social networks.
