Ever thought, what it would be like to take time away from work, join the same company, get trained and secure a job, without being questioned about the sabbatical? Sounds awesome right? This is precisely what tech companies are offering their Indian women techies too. Says Prachi Rastogi, Diversity & Inclusion Leader, APAC, IBM, “We are clear that, when one takes time away from the corporate world, it counts as a completely diverse experience and we value that. The Tech Re-entry program worldwide is for talented technical professionals who have taken a break from the workforce and want to rejoin. It is an unpaid program where we mostly invite women, actually all genders, to join us. We have over 99% women, because especially in India, women take a break. We match their skills and expertise with what is available with IBM, offer paid training for a year, which could then lead to a full-time employment.” A new entrant to the league, Cognizant India, launched its Cognizant® Returnship Program on the occasion of International Women’s Day, this year. “Keeping in mind our goal of inclusivity and fostering an environment that mentors talent without biases, we launched the (paid) Cognizant® Returnship Program. Many such talented professionals looking to return to the workforce are women. Our inaugural cohort included 12 women taking on engineering management roles in the digital engineering practice.” says Nivedita Naithani, Global Program Leader-Cognizant Returnship Program.
