The group operates as a networking platform and learning space for like-minded HR professionals to share their knowledge, and opportunities. Members offer to speak, or showcase, so that other members can learn something and connect with them.
With over 580 current members, the group creates a wealth of exciting and helpful content. All my upcoming HR events and opportunities are also advertised and shared on the platform.
After such a success with the group on LinkedIn, I next created a WordPress website for the group. Initially, this was just an additional way to promote and advertise the group itself, but also offered the opportunity to expand. I planned to offer HR advice and consultancy there too.
As the membership continues to grow via LinkedIn and the website, I also now operate dedicated Facebook and Twitter pages. For networking and new opportunities in particular, social media is a valuable asset — whatever your industry.
