What are Boomerang Employees?

Boomerang employees are individuals who leave their employer and later return to work for the same company again. They go for various personal or professional reasons, such as family circumstances, professional development, or career change. Boomerang employees may return to their previous position or to a new role within the company.

Recent research reveals that 28% of all ‘new’ employees are boomerang employees, leaving and returning within the last 36 months. In fact, 20% of employees who left their jobs during the pandemic have returned to work at their old company.
