‘Returnship programmes are underutilised’
The Hindu
A new study notes that hiring women on a career break is still abysmally low in India; and that back-to-work initiatives usually flounder for want of a right design structure
For all the buzz around returnship programmes for women, they remain an “underutilised trump card” in the war for talent — that is the main finding of a new study by Zinnov, a management consulting and strategy advisory firm.
The study notes that while over one lakh qualified women professionals in India have left the workforce in the last five years for various reasons, only two per cent of them have been reintegrated into it.
In a vast number of cases, there is no returnship programme for women; where they exist, only a handful of them are really effectual.
