The Federation of International Employers (FedEE) has announced the launch of a face-to-face networking tool called butN that will allow real business networking at a global level. The free mobile tool has been designed to be easy and safe to use, in spite of being based on cutting edge technologies. This development is part of a program to reduce the intense stress experienced by business executives, whilst improving their connectivity both within and outside their business sectors.
Several different language versions of butN are in preparation as well as many path finding applications, which will help multinational executives, deal more effectively with their daily work demands. Companies can also have their own internal, badged versions of butN to assist with team working, wider connectivity and the fostering of greater employee engagement.
Robin Chater, who heads up FedEE commented, “Executives in multinational companies have a constant need to forge links with prospective customers and business partners, to form alliances, improve their intercultural skills and check out new ideas with others outside their organisations. That is why for the last year we have been working on a better way for them to forge new connections, especially during business trips. The business networking forum ‘LinkedIn’ is great as an online community, but butN is not about virtual networking, but real networking.”
