Viewed in Korn Ferry<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the global pandemic (hopefully) wanes and employees return to their offices, this study by executive recruitment and consulting behemoth Korn Ferry observes that, in a recent poll, 35 percent of employees identified the opportunity to network as the function they most look forward as they return to in-office work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As employees return and resume the networking that existed prior to 2020, however, many have fallen out of practice these past two years and will want to brush up on their approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, Korn Ferry dives into a few suggestions to make employees\u2019 ease back into professional network an easier one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be respectful as the social distances have changed<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

For starters, what to talk about it? Start with the pandemic, the recruitment firm urges. Use it to assess how the other person feels about returning to normalcy and to assess also whether they might be returning with any new perspectives or boundaries. \u201cBe respectful, and move on when it feels appropriate,\u201d Korn Ferry urges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A way of learning and contributing<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Also, adjust your perspective on networking and view it instead as \u201ca way of learning, having interesting conversations, and contributing ideas,\u201d Korn Ferry career coach Frances Weir urges. And plan ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow up with your new contacts<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to over plan, but ponder your elevator speech, including how you would introduce yourself and your function. Exchange business cards and don\u2019t forget to follow up with your new contacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing a colleague<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Two final recommendations: Networking is usually an external, out-of-office undertaking, but not always. When you cross paths with fellow employees you may not know, take the initiative of starting conversation and leaving that conversation knowing a colleague you previously did not know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conferences remains a networking must<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Finally, conferences continue to be a networking must. Attend them and use them for networking purposes. \u201cEvents are coming back on a smaller scale, which offers you a chance to stand out and access people more easily,\u201d this Korn Ferry report concludes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
