MANAGERS' TESTIMONIALS
OF RETURNERS
"The partnership with Mums@Work Career Navigators has been a key success factor in our return-to-work programme. We have learned over the years, high caliber talent on its own is simply not enough. The coaching and re-integration workshops for returners and managers has really made the difference by creating a transparent working rhythm, instilling confidence in participants and ensuring the right cultural fit overall – something we highly value at TD."
"The Mums@Work programme is an excellent avenue for hiring experienced and talented professionals. The time needed to assimilate into our working culture is reduced dramatically as a result of prior work experience which, in turn, is an asset to the manager and team."
"Christine joined TD in September and has been an invaluable asset since day one. She has demonstrated a drive to re-integrate into the workforce and desire to contribute to the team's success. Her inquisitive nature into our processes coupled with past industry experience has led to useful process improvements. The support from Mums@Work, acting as an intermediary for the first 3 months, has helped ensure Christine and I are on the same page in terms of expectations and objectives."
"Our colleague who joined us through the Career Re-Ignite programme has been a fantastic addition to the team! Having previously worked in another industry prior to her career break, she has brought a different skill-set and perspective to the team which has been invaluable. In addition, her enthusiasm and willingness to learn has injected new energy to the team and has had a significant positive impact on our ability to deliver for our client groups."
