Why Companies Need Returnship Programs (Back to Work, Better)

Carol Fishman Cohen, human resource consultant and CEO of
iRelaunch, says that extended career breaks have always been
common. Now the pandemic has made them even more widespread. So,
companies are increasingly considering formal back-to-work programs
and “returnships.” That’s where employers set up special training
and support mechanisms to ease people back into work. Cohen speaks
about the best practices for organizations and returning workers
alike. She's the author of the HBR article "Return-to-Work Programs
Come of Age."
