EY reports that it polled more than 750 professionals to explore the UK’s attitude towards networking.

 

The research, comprising a white paper by Julia Hobsbawm, visiting Professor of Networking at London's Cass Business School, and a survey by Populus of 750 business professionals at all stages of their career, found that those at the earliest stages of their professional development have the strongest attachment to in-person networking.

 

Liz Bingham, EY’s Managing Partner for Talent in the UK & Ireland, said: “...At its most basic level, networking is about forming and maintaining relationships and this is often best done face-to-face.”

 

Other key findings of the survey include:

  • Only 53% of business people value networking as professional skill
  • Fewer than half of professionals have LinkedIn accounts
  • Only one in four women convinced of need for women-only networks
