Groups

Bizwrk Groups is your destination to find and join communities of professionals based on common interest, experience, affiliation, and goals. Stay in touch with organizations, schools, and companies that you are and were a part of, network with professionals with similar interests and goals, and collaborate in a professional community online. Bizwrk Groups allows group organizations to extend their brand’s reach and strengthen the brand with existing users by providing additional value through Bizwrk’s features.

Bizwrk Groups allows you to be a member of professional communities created on the base of common purpose, experience and aim. Membership of groups allows you to maintain online professional contacts with present and past organizations, schools to share your interests. We give following Group options to you:

 

Open community group

Anyone can view without joining the group but if they want to make a post they must join the group. It is free for all members to view and join.

 

Closed group

Only paid members may view this group. If they want to make a post they must be approved to join the group.

 

Private group

No one can view unless they have been approved to join. This group is for free and paid members to join. This is good for a company that would like to open a private office group for their employees. It is also good for private business networking.

 

Groups Directory

The Groups Directory allows you to easily find the right group. Click on the “Category” dropdown to sort by different group types (Alumni, Corporate, Non-Profit, Corporate, etc). Once you have found a group you are interested in joining, click on the “Join Group” link to request to join the group. Clicking the Share button lets you invite your connections to join the group as well. Your membership may be subject to review by a group manager. For instance, college and corporate groups may require a valid e-mail associated with the account. If you have any questions about joining a group, you can send a message to the group owner listed on the group information page.
