Pamela Weinsaft, for The Glass Hammer, writes about a new program developed for Merrill Lynch to help off-ramped women transition back into the workplace. ML realized they were recruiting many women, but losing them as they advanced up the ladder. Weinsaft writes:
” Greater Returns is billed as a “new suite of programs for women seeking to transition back to work as well as women professionals looking to accelerate their career growth and professional development.” Participants will spend a rigorous 2 ½ days in courses designed to familiarize them with the newest industry practices and technology. They will also learn how to tell their “off-ramp” story in a compelling and productive way. “The key is getting [the women] to think differently about their capabilities and prepare them for their new roles, even if they are in other parts of the industry,” said Subha Barry, managing director and head of Global Diversity and Inclusion at Merrill Lynch.
