Sometimes You Want To Go Where Everybody Knows Your Name

There are many reasons why people might be out of work, a change in a family situation, termination of their previous employment, mental health matters or perhaps they had to take time out. Returning to the workplace is never easy, whether it be one month, one year or a ten-year gap, things have moved on, and it can be quite the cause of anxiety to find the right position on the right terms. “I think that companies are looking for ways to find all sorts of talent and returners, it’s just another stream of people that companies are trying to get at and some companies actually even have programmes in place to support returners. There is one called Relaunch your Career run by Mastercard, there is one run by Accenture. There are companies that are focused on trying to get workers back in,” said Sinead Caulfield, service delivery director, Vantage Resources.
