LinkedIn employees around the country are set to be mortified by the family again this year with the return of the company’s Bring In Your Parents Day on 5 November, 2015.

LinkedIn launched the initiative in 2013 after research uncovered that more than a third of parents had no idea what their ‘child’ did for a living. Since then is has become a worldwide initiative, with more than 55,000 parents across the globe have visited offices in 18 countries.

LinkedIn spokesperson Wendy Murphy (pictured) said: “We all expect active support and development of our careers, within highly engaged workplaces which are increasingly the norm, but workers aren’t always taking advantage of the guidance on offer outside of the office. Parents have a huge amount of value and wisdom when it comes to starting and developing a career to share with their children.”

Hopefully, the idea won’t find purchase beyond the social network’s offices.
