Despite signs of a slowdown and layoffs coming out of the tech sector, the job picture is still robust. Yet, some workers regret leaving their employers.
For starters, so-called boomerang employees know the culture, understand how things get done, and can pretty much hit the ground running, said Shayla Thurlow, vice president of people and talent acquisition at job search platform The Muse.They can also bring back to the company new, fresh ways of approaching challenges.
Sometimes, Thurlow said, employees want to return because they yearn for something comfortable and familiar. But it could also be because the new job was oversold, there was bad onboarding, or they had trouble assimilating into a new environment or culture."You want to understand why they left that new company so that if they do want to return to your organization you can actually meet their needs," she said.
"If someone didn't have a good onboarding experience in their new firm, but they truly weren't happy in your organization, it could be that they're just looking to come back to collect a paycheck and do the bare minimum in a job they're already familiar with," she said."You don't want to set yourself up for those experiences because they can be corrosive to the culture and the team on which that individual works.
