Leave of absence
Life happens. Some things are just outside of our control. Childbirth, adoption, serious illness, or even military service are all common examples of why a valued employee may need leave of absence. Companies that demonstrate compassion and plan for the necessary leave of absence see better retention rates.
Overcoming obstacles for Returners
Unfortunately, the recruiting process for many companies is set up to place less value on candidates that have a gap in their work history, despite the fact that these candidates are often experienced and highly qualified. This preference may be part of the talent acquisition process that recruiters are instructed to follow or it may be built into a company’s recruiting technology or ATS (Applicant Tracking System). The result is that companies are missing out on some great talent. And because Returners are typically women, the talent companies are missing out on is often female.
