Better leadership, work-life balance draw back ‘boomerang’ employees

These boomerang employees would also need more time to “acclimatise,” especially if there were changes to management, policies, or company culture.

But BambooHR also highlighted that hiring boomerang employees can mean a less time-consuming and more cost-effective onboarding process for the organisation.

There is also a strong likelihood that the employee can fit into the company culture, and is already familiar with the job, duties, and expectations in the role.

The boomerang employee also brings with them new skills, experiences, connections, viewpoints, and customers, according to BambooHR. 

The established employer-employee relationship also adds to company loyalty and increased retention.
