Companies help women return to work

Exciting news at Path Forward today! So excited to be expanding our partnership with Walmart to bring returnships to cities across the country.

Walmart is expanding a program with Path Forward.ORG at Walmart Labs that helps professionals (often women) who have been out of the workforce for an extended period get a four-month "returnship" to get back up to speed - and about three quarters of the first class of returnees were hired full time. They are shooting for 100 people this year, up from 30. Has your company tried a returnship? Have you? What works? What doesn't? # #management #returnship

The reporter asked me why, with the unemployment rate so low, would major Silicon Valley companies need to work with an organization like ours--when people are already lining up to work there? A great question. Here's how I answered it: companies that understand the value of diversity and inclusion, and the many forces that ultimately sideline women talent, also understand the need for channels to bring women back into the workforce. And that's what we do. We're the channel that brings accomplished women on the sidelines back to you. It's OK if you don't have a formal Return to Work program--we can help you hire from this talent pool regardless. #diversityandinclusion #returnship
