Here are platforms inspiring women to restart careers post maternity break
New Delhi: Women drop out of workforce at various stages but the main thrust often comes during and post pregnancy stages in women' life. The baby then takes precedence over everything else and having a full-time career seems like a thing of the past!
The not-so-desirable outcome: today we have more women who have left jobs for full-time motherhood, displacing a lot of skilled and trained professional talent from the workforce.
However, there are few platforms which are dedicatedly working for mothers who wish to join back the workforce but are looking for a right start.
If you are a mum, who on sabbatical is longing to re-enter the workforce or wish to re-start professional journey can look up to following platforms:
