One in five (19%) UK workers have returned to a previous employer within the past five years or plan to in the near future, new research from Unum UK has found.
Team members who decide to leave a company but return at some point in the future are commonly referred to as ‘boomerang’ employees, the website Elevate explained.
Why are staff going back?
The data looked into the main motivations among staff when it comes to ‘boomeranging’ back to a former employer. Work culture and better work perks were cited by 36% of survey respondents as top reasons for wanting to go back.
