With demand for more gender-diverse teams — among other intersections of diversity — continuing to be strong as we enter 2023, now is an excellent time for visionary recruiting and HR leaders to propose a career reentry program.
Career reentry programs enable employers to tap into the hidden, high-caliber pool of mid-career professionals who are returning to work after multi-year career breaks. iRelaunch refers to this experienced population as "relaunchers." This talent pool is made up primarily of women and encompasses those who have taken career breaks for a wide range of reasons, including caregiving.
Join iRelaunch Managing Director Elizabeth Gish to learn the key steps to creating a career reentry program and hear about the latest innovations and best practices in reentry programming.
During this chat, Elizabeth will talk about:
- Why leading your employer's career reentry pilot program can be the ultimate opportunity for you to create a brand new initiative that advances your organization's diversity goals and mid-career hiring needs, all while gaining visibility from senior management
- The business case for an employer career reentry program
- More about relaunchers and the value they bring to employers
