Looking to make more business connections in a time where socialising is sparse? Look no further than LinkedIn and its incredible networking potential.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n

As it stands, many people across the world are working remotely. The pandemic has eased somewhat, but realistically, the flexibility remote working affords has to be maintained in order for businesses to remain future-proofed against further lockdown scenarios. <\/p>\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n

Even without the impact of the virus, there has been a 159% rise in remote work over the last 12 years with 80% of remote workers saying they experience less job stress. Remote working is also beneficial for overall worker morale, for the environment (lower commutes and office use) and for enterprises looking to make the most of a global pool of talent. <\/p>\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n

Networking is so beneficial for many companies and freelancers providing a great chance to make connections and build business. Does that mean that networking is over until the pandemic is well and truly squashed? Not necessarily\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n
