Working with your ex-employer is not an easy move for most professionals. While this could be one of the most pragmatic decisions that mid career professionals make, it is accompanied by a number of advantages and disadvantages.
"Companies are more than glad to hire ex employees who can think out-of the-box, help generate growth at several levels and whose ideas and adrenaline levels match that of the organisation," states Seema Sood, director, events and PR, Leo Burnett.
Not many these days quit a company to never return. Several professionals, who have had a great time working for a company in the past, may, at some point of their career, decide to rejoin it in a new capacity. Adds Sood, "Merely stating that they are going back to their old jobs may be the wrong way of looking at this phenomenon. It is imperative for people to work in envi before going back to your previous company?
Look beyond comfort: Carefully consider all options before returning to your ex-employer. "If an opportunity to work in a peaceful setting and contribute to the growth of the organisation exists, then get rid of your ego and take up the work with renewed vigour. However, if comfort is your only criterion, then the move could be a bad one as mere convenience can kill your ability to take up challenges. Hence, look for a win-win situation, where you can not only progress professionally in the new role, but also contribute to the organisation," says Nabendu Bhattacharya, MD, Milestone Brandcom.
Make a well-thought out decision: Be absolutely clear about the role offered and take a logical decision rather not have been pleasant, employees are more appreciative about their former employer. However, ensure that the issues that had resulted in your exit earlier do not exist anymore."
Don't be a know-it-to all: Returning to an organisation calls for a reassessment of your skills, recalibration of your ambitions and renewing your focus and motivation to work for the company. "Avoid being a know-it-all.
Although you might be familiar with the work environment, avoid leveraging that aspect and respect your co-workers' space," advises Sood.
Exit gracefully: Always respect the organisation you have worked for and avoid criticising it.
Rejoining a company can be a lot easier if your previous exit was graceful. "It is extremely important to not burn bridges with your rank," says, Bhattacharya.
He adds, "It's a good idea to go back to an old employer if the management has undergone restructuring or if you are being offered a higher position. However, if you are offered a similar job profile as in the past, look to grow through achieving challenges and creating newer benchmarks."
Says Aradhya, "Returning employees need to be more collaborative in dealing with their ex-colleagues in order to be accepted easily."
In conclusion: If the move is for a better work atmosphere, security, job profile, compensation and recognition, it only makes sense to go back your former employer. Remember that the company expects you to deliver a better output, hence do not be enamoured only by the comfort of working in a familiar setting.
If one feels that a particular company meets his/ her expectations, then whether it is a familiar place or a new one, they must pursue it."
So, what are the factors you need to consider than an emotional one.
Urvi Aradhya, senior vice president HR, Inorbit Malls shares, "Second stints are normally long lasting ones not only because they are informed decisions, but because having experienced the atmosphere at other offices which may employer if you think you may return someday.
However, rejoining also depends on employer-employee relationship, organisation's philosophy, its nature of business and the position the employee held in the past, especially if he/ she held a high.
