Why Cognizant’s 13,000 returnees are a testament to a new era in talent management
- Cognizant has seen a 40 per cent surge in returning employees over the past two years.
- Cognizant’s employee value proposition is valued at a time when others are struggling to keep their best talent.
- For many returning employees, it wasn’t about money or title—it was about culture and connection.
- Organisations need to recognise that a respectful exit is an investment in a future return.
- Exiting employees should be valued, supported, and reminded that the company remains an option if they ever wish to return.
- Companies need to assess returning employees as rigorously as new hires.
- Creating a boomerang-friendly culture is a calculated strategy.
- The talent acquisition, people and culture teams, and hiring managers need to work in harmony.
- If employees are willing to come back, it’s proof that the company is doing something right.
- The ability to bring people back can be an organisation's greatest asset.
