In a fast changing world, employers and recruiting strategies need to evolve together with different generations jumping , or re-jumping, into the workplace. Thanks for sharing with us, Esther! 👏🏼

Congratulations Esther on your inspiring TedTalk! Taking a career break is a smart choice. This gives rise to new visions, new mindsets and new skillsets - all valuable assets to take back into workplaces that are open to thinking and acting differently.

Well done Esther! It is crazy to think how many people will take a career break! Genuinely something I never realised… and for my generation it is odd… but for the new generation, it is so normal!

excellent analysis and advice. As a society, we need to stop stigmatizing returners and harness their wealth of experience and motivation for the common good.
