Key MMB Returner statistics are:
- Only 18% of maternity returners felt happy and confident about returning to work, seeing how their employer dealt with previous maternity returners.
- 37% felt so unsupported and isolated on their return that they wanted to leave
- Just 17% felt they received good communication and support through maternity.
- 90% said no returner support was offered through returner programmes or one to one coaching – yet 92% said a dedicated returner programme could have been beneficial
- 60% were worried about their requests for flexible working being rejected, and 68% had concerns about the cost of childcare when going back to work.
The above MMB Returner survey shows several reasons why the path forward return seems to hold so many barriers. Still, a supportive returner programme for talented professionals upon their return to the workplace is an excellent opportunity to engage, retain and develop your returners not just upon their return but within the future of your business and its brand within the world of work.
