A global survey of over 15,000 full-time professionals found that most keep their work and personal lives separate, with 88% keeping separate wardrobes and 48% not needing formal clothes for work. While 3 in 5 professionals now feel more comfortable challenging their boss than when they started, it's still important to keep social media separate and professional. LinkedIn profiles that show workplace success are motivating for 47% of respondents.
