Course Overview
Data on return after a career break is abundant; insight about it is not. A process for career break that managers quietly work around has already failed. The course sets out a working method for this aspect of people management and development that participants can apply the week they return. Participants apply return after a career break to their own workforce throughout, so the output is directly usable. Mature organisations treat the practice within people management and development as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Buying a tool rarely fixes career break; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting return after a career break, ready to be adapted internally. The content is relevant to those who own career break and to those who are held accountable for its results. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the people management and development capability ready to put in front of a decision maker.
