Summary
A state-of-the-art rapid evidence assessment (REA) on organisational networking was performed during an internship at a small-sized human resource consultancy academic spin-off.

Retrieved information encompassed networking effectiveness in enhancing organisational performance, effective networkers’ individual characteristics, and implementable strategies to foster employees’ networking capability.
