About the event
As the model of lifetime continuous employment breaks down, more and more of us are taking career breaks. Sometimes these are positive: a chance to reflect and recharge. Sometimes breaks are forced upon us.
Whatever your situation a career break represents both an opportunity and a threat.
In this webinar we will look at different models of career breaks and investigate how people can best use a period away from work. We will examine:
- Three different models of sabbatical
- When career breaks work best and for whom
- How to end a long break and get back to work
- How to de-risk options and negotiate with your employer
- Using a career break to explore new career options
