It was a step up with a salary to match, the job role sounded interesting and the perks looked great. But a month in, you find yourself slowly realising that the role wasn\u2019t what you were expecting. You might have disliked certain things about your old job, but now that you\u2019ve gained some distance from it, you\u2019re longing to go back to the organisation you were at before.\r\n\r\nIf so, you\u2019re not alone. A boomerang employee is someone who returns to a company they\u2019ve previously worked for. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbia.com\/news\/hr-safety\/the-boomerang-employee-phenomenon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Research suggests<\/a> that 15% of workers have been boomerang employees at some point in their careers, and 40% would consider returning to a former employer.\r\n\r\nBut is this a good idea\u2014and would your old organisation even welcome you back?\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Things to consider before returning to a former employer","content":"<h2>Things to consider before returning to a former employer<\/h2>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>1. Know your value<\/h3>\r\nDepending on how long it\u2019s been since you left, you might know more than a new starter about the systems used at the charity, the culture, and the expectations. If you were to get a job there again, you\u2019d be able to hit the ground running. Plus, the organisation already knows what kind of a worker you are. They\u2019re taking less of a gamble by hiring you and saving themselves time and money that would have been spent on onboarding.\r\n\r\nWhat\u2019s more, the time you spent working elsewhere may have gained you skills and knowledge that you wouldn\u2019t have got had you stayed. You know how other charities do things and might be able to transfer some of that knowledge. You may also have gained training that your old organisation couldn\u2019t afford to give you. All of this will benefit them if you return.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>2. Is this a good time to return?<\/h3>\r\nIf you\u2019re still in touch with previous work colleagues, you could ask them what\u2019s changed since you left and whether they think this is a good time to return. Once we\u2019re no longer living through a situation, <a href=\"http:\/\/web.mit.edu\/curhan\/www\/docs\/Articles\/biases\/Book_Chapter_Theory_of_Temporal_Adjustments.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">we tend to see it through rose-tinted glasses.<\/a> This leads us to forget or downplay the reasons why we left in the first place, especially if we\u2019re not happy where we\u2019re at currently.\r\n\r\nMake a list of all the reasons why you left your previous employer. Have things changed since then? Would you be able to negotiate for change, or would it be the same if you were to return? Consider whether you think you could commit to working for that charity again, not just now, but years into the future.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>3. How do the organisations compare?<\/h3>\r\nWhat are the things you most value in a job and a workplace? Is it the culture, the salary, the perks offered, the relationships you have with colleagues? Rank everything in order of highest to lowest priority. Then measure each organisation against these categories. How do they compare?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-14631\" src=\"https:\/\/charityjob.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/scott-graham-OQMZwNd3ThU-unsplash-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"comparing old company to new job\" width=\"758\" height=\"505\" \/>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"How should you go about returning to a former employer?","content":"<h2>How should you go about returning to a former employer?<\/h2>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>1.\u00a0Keep communication open<\/h3>\r\nWhen you leave an organisation, make sure it\u2019s on good terms. Keep in touch with former colleagues by sharing your email address or adding them on LinkedIn. Then message them on significant dates such as work anniversaries or birthdays. This will allow you to keep up to date with goings on in the organisation, and means you have a point of contact for enquiring about vacancies if you ever want to return.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>2. Do your research beforehand<\/h3>\r\nIt\u2019s easy to assume that if you\u2019ve worked somewhere before, you won\u2019t need to do as much research as someone who\u2019s completely new, but it\u2019s a good idea to update your knowledge and make sure you know what changes they've made since you left. Would your manager be the same? Is the structure the same as it was when you worked there? All of this will help to inform your decision about whether returning to a former organisation is the right thing for you.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>3. Contact the charity<\/h3>\r\nWhen the right role comes up, make sure your application showcases <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/careeradvice\/top-skills-charities-look-for\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the new skills you\u2019ve gained<\/a> since leaving the organisation. Your old employer already has an idea of who you are and what you know, so you need to demonstrate that you\u2019ve changed and grown since they last worked with you.\r\n\r\nThey might also be a little hesitant about hiring you again since you left the organisation previously. So it\u2019s important to demonstrate your career goals so that employers know you\u2019d be committed to your new role."},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","menu_title":"Address what went wrong the first time","content":"<h2>Address what went wrong the first time<\/h2>\r\nIt\u2019s not always an easy decision to make, but if you decide it\u2019s right for you, then returning to a former employer can be a chance to address what went wrong the first time, and stop problems from happening again.\r\n\r\nWhen it works, as a boomerang employee, you can enjoy all the benefits you experienced in your previous role, but with the new skills and training you gained elsewhere that will allow you to get ahead in the organisation and thrive."},{"acf_fc_layout":"article_reading_list","menu_title":"Read next","reading_list_title":"Read next","include_articles":[{"articles_link":13873},{"articles_link":14138},{"articles_link":13381}]}],"keyword":"","related_articles":[{"article":14022},{"article":5381},{"article":12712}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.6 (Yoast SEO v28.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Should You Consider Returning to a Former Employer? - CharityJob Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A boomerang employee is someone who returns to a former employer.
