Right Back At You! Understanding the Trend of Boomerang Employees

In the wake of the “Great Resignation,” some workers are finding
their best option may be to return to a previous employer.
According to LinkedIn data, in 2010, companies reported that 2%
of hires were returning or became “boomerang” employees. Now,
post-pandemic that number has increased to 4.5%. Boomerang
employees are not a new phenomenon, but why have they been
happening more and more frequently?
