The article discusses the phenomenon of 'boomerang hires,' or employees who leave and later return to their previous employers. Harvard Business Review research indicates that 28% of new hires fall into this category. Mindi Cox, a chief people officer, explains that employees often leave for seemingly better opportunities only to realize they miss the culture and connections of their former workplace. Angela Jackson emphasizes that the return of such employees signifies a company culture of growth, respect, and commitment, benefiting both the company and the returning employees by reintegrating their enhanced skills and perspectives.
"Sometimes, the right people step off for a while to grow, gain new skills, and return even stronger, bringing fresh perspectives, external best practices, and a renewed commitment to the company's mission."
"People often leave a job because there's an opportunity that's too good to turn down, or they have a life season, like I had, and need to step away from work."
