Employee engagement can be a constant struggle for many leaders. They need to be thinking of new ways to keep employees engaged in order to increase job satisfaction, productivity, and retention.

There was a time when returning to a former job carried a lot of stigma. The employee might feel as if they are having to shamefully crawl back to an old job. An employer may feel ridiculed for thinking of rehiring employees who had rejected them. They may make decisions in hiring based on personal grudges and hurt egos. As times change, leadership changes, and so do opinions.
