Are you using LinkedIn as much as you should be?
While LinkedIn has been a long standing platform for professionals to connect, integrate and innovate — the ongoing pandemic has brought about a new perspective on how it can be used to help drive engagement and connect leads.

Build your business on LinkedIn
If you’re debating whether or not you should post that video — go for it!
The days of networking only to find a new role have gone out the window. There’s a lot more that happens on LinkedIn other than searching for a new job. Encourage your employees to share their insights and provide them with guidelines on how to post.
Whether you’re weary about giving your employees the option to post on LinkedIn or are a little nervous to create your first posts, putting yourself out there can help both your business and professional career.
“People need to get out of their comfort zone and into your fear zone, which is really where we grow.” – Rob Tadros
