The Challenges Women Face When Restarting Their Careers
HR & Talent Acquisition professionals face steeper re-entry penalties, with 60–65% accepting pay cuts and slower promotions.
Skill Obsolescence & Technology Gaps
- In tech and digital domains, rapid innovation means even a 1–2 year break can leave professionals feeling outdated.
- Women returning after a break often lack access to formal upskilling programs during caregiving periods.
Confidence & Perception Barriers
- Career gaps trigger self-doubt: “Am I still relevant?” and “Can I meet current performance expectations?”
- Employers may unconsciously penalize returners, questioning commitment and updated expertise.
Biases against Career Re-starters
- Studies show 77% of women leave jobs for caregiving, yet only 27% return in comparable roles.
- HR & Talent Acquisition professionals face steeper re-entry penalties, with 60–65% accepting pay cuts and slower promotions.
Limited Flexible Opportunities
- Inflexible schedules in traditional roles conflict with family responsibilities.
- Women seek remote, part-time, or project-based roles but find few structured options.
Network Erosion & Access to Decision Makers
- Professional networks shrink during extended breaks, reducing referrals and job leads.
- Women often lack direct access to hiring decision makers, slowing re-entry.
Support System Gaps
- Unlike campus placements or corporate mobility, career returners lack dedicated platforms.
- Scarce mentorship tailored to re-entry needs leaves women navigating transitions alone.
The result?
An uphill battle for talented women, especially in HR and talent functions, who are eager to re-enter the workforce but find doors closed.
XPand is built to break down these barriers.
