Prof Claire Gubbins, from DCU Business School highlights how connecting with colleagues goes beyond day-to-day collaboration.

“It helps us do our jobs better.” Prof Gubbins also sees advantages to connecting with those outside our immediate team. “Having networks in different departments and organisations can expose us to new perspectives and ideas that can help us do our jobs more efficiently and innovatively.
