People resign from jobs and are let go from jobs for a
variety of reasons. Some of these former
employees won’t consider coming back to the company they left. Some will. There
are employers who will rehire an employee who resigned or was let go or who
wants to come back. Boomerang employees are ultimately a good asset for the
business.

Why Rehire a Boomerang Employee
US Media Studios accents why rehiring a returning employee
is a good for the business:
- Returning employees are already familiar with the company, its goals and policies, and culture.
- If returning to the same position, they already know the job what is needed to get it done.
- They know their co-workers and supervisors work personalities and know how to get along with them.
- They bring their knowledge, skills and experience with them, and also bring new skills and knowledge to the job.
- They work harder at their jobs because they are grateful to be back in familiar territory and have that steady paycheck.
- Boomerang employees boost morale in their departments and in the business as a whole.
Learning from the Boomerang Employee
It should also be noted that there are good lessons to learn
from the returning employee:
- “The grass is not always greener in another yard”. A new job may not have been as good as the one left and returned to.
- Employment opportunities are not that great no matter what industry someone wishes to move into.
- Not all CEOs or managers are equal.
- Starting over someplace else is sometimes not the best choice.
Employers might want to ask the boomerang employee why they
want to come back. US Media Studios also reminds employers to ask why the
employee resigned. Take time to define to the returning employee any new brands
or business processes that started since the employee was gone.
The boomerang employee is a good company asset. Consider all
sides of their request to return and bring them back onboard if all signs are
positive.
