Getting Back to Work

By Mandy Garner

In the past the phenomenon of returning to work - whether from maternity leave or longer periods of leave - was mainly associated with women.

However, given the Covid-19 lockdown and extensive use of the furlough scheme over the last few months, the number of individuals facing transition back to work after a long period of leave is now much more widespread.

This could be good news for traditional returners in that there may be a greater general sense of understanding of the issues involved.

While furloughed workers will not face the daunting return to work after a long gap, they may need a period of adjustment to the new normal, whatever that might be.

The Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development suggests a re-induction period for furloughed workers.

For longer-term returners, the issues of returning to the workforce are compounded by having to find a new job. As we face the prospect of more redundancies and a bleaker economic picture, that is likely to be harder.

So what do you do if you have taken or been forced to take time out of the work place and you want to get back to work?

We asked the team at Working Mums for their ideas and tips and to tell us about the FREE RESOURCE they offer mums returning to work.
