The global leader in IT services and consulting,\u00a0 Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation has witnessed a remarkable surge in the return of its former employees which they are calling as \u201cboomerang employees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boomerang Employees Returning To Cognizant <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IT major has witnessed a 40% increase in the returnees over the past two years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s a big number as more than 14,000 former employees have rejoined its workforce during this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides this, it also highlights the trend of the company\u2019s ability to foster a culture that employees are eager to return to, even after exploring opportunities elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This holds a great significance as this trend underscores the company\u2019s ability to foster a culture which reveals that the former employees are eager to return to the company, even after exploring opportunities elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand when it comes to Cognizant<\/a>, the company’s approach in welcoming back boomerang employees showcases its innovative talent management strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to this, the IT major also emphasizes the importance of maintaining strong relationships with former staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to the Boomerang employees, they are the individuals who voluntarily leave an organization and later return after working elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, this phenomenon has gained a lot of  traction especially in the wake of the \u201cGreat Resignation\u201d following the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During that time, many professionals left their jobs in the search of seemingly better opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, it appears that they experienced \u201cnew hire\u2019s remorse\u201d as their new roles or company cultures failed to meet their expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has worked out in Cognizant favour and the company has capitalized on this trend further positioning itself as an employer of choice for those seeking to return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now Cognizant is feeling a total hold of Boomerang Success as the <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cognizant\u2019s Chief People Officer, Kathy Diaz, revealed that the company has a pipeline of 20,000 former employees who have expressed interest in rejoining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, the organization employs 340,000 people globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, the influx of boomerang employees has become a key component of its recruitment strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It won’t be an exaggeration to say that the high number of returnees is a testament to Cognizant\u2019s entrepreneurial and innovative culture as it empowers employees and fosters collaboration, Kathy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming to the returning staff, they have highlighted several factors that make Cognizant an attractive option for boomerang employees in interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have described these opportunities for career growth, social ties with former colleagues, and a strong sense of autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It appears that Cognizant\u2019s flexible working policies and diverse range of projects across industries have contributed to its appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Unique Advantage to Organizations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Cognizant, the boomerang employees bring fresh perspectives and ideas which are gained by their experiences at other companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides this they require less onboarding due to their familiarity with the organization\u2019s operations and culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this move, the IT service provider has leveraged these benefits to enhance its workforce and drive innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the company\u2019s approach in welcoming back former employees, it is rooted in its commitment in maintaining positive relationships with departing staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company has treated resignations as an opportunity to build long-term connections rather than as losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has created a culture of respect, loyalty and their strategy has proven effective in attracting talent back to the organization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
