Very excited to launch our Return to Work program – “#RISE – Relaunch Initiative to Search Employment”- to help people rejoining work after a #careerbreak.

I was driven to launch our #returntowork program formally after reading an article last week, which suggested that more than 200 global firms run such programs and yet we have heard so little formally about them in India.

Such programs started nearly a decade ago with an #investmentbank, so it only seems fit to start this here with our Investment Banking Consulting & Offshoring (IBCO) Practice.

So here goes – if you have worked in or know people with experience in the following, do reply to us in this post – Business Finance, Product Control, Financial Control, Regulatory Reporting, Quant, Analytics, Risk, Research, Fund Accounting, Operations, Settlement, Reconciliation, IT, Compliance, Surveillance or related roles.

Now in lighter vein, I found some cool names that companies call their programs – Returnship, BreakThrough, Return Flight, Real Returns, Resume, RePower, Re-entry, Take 2, NextChapter, Comeback, Rework, Re-employ, Debut 2.0, Encore, Re-ignite,… phew!

I was even thinking of calling our program PPP or Prodigal Professional Program, but wouldn’t it be too controversial?

Launching Symphoni HR’s ‘ROPE initiative’… or the “Reach Out Program for Employees in distress” (ROPE)…

This thought came to me now (late at night) as I ponder over my interaction over the last week… with many of my friends and ex-colleagues who lost their jobs overnight or as their future came under heightened uncertainty.

But all is NOT lost my friends… Hope Floats (#cheesy)… I do have some Investment banking clients that are hiring, and my team and I can act as a bridge for you folks.

Some of my clients are willing to explore placing YOU talented people in similar or related work streams.

So for those people seeking new roles and those firms willing to welcome them on the other side of the bridge, please contact me….

Active roles with me include Quant & Analytics, Data Science, Finance/Product Control & Reporting, Fund Admin, Fund Accounting, BP&A, Risk & Compliance, to name a few…

Let’s call it QWANT now people….. High time! I came across this article yesterday about a 2012 stat that put women at 8% of the global quant universe. And it got me thinking… is the situation very different now?

So I am happy to launch the #QWANT Program @ Symphoni HR…. today..right now! ***Even if my my clients don’t have a job for you, I will send you in the right direction! My team will talk to you and guide you…

***Men are invited and we will help you guys in finding jobs too, but there is a condition…you have to take up mentorship of a junior diversity candidate!

***QWANTS that don’t need a job should call us as well… to guide us better..no one knows better than you…

***Academic Institutions…do you charge a preferential fee for women? You should… ! We invite educational partners to get in touch with us too!

***There are groups globally for women in quantitate methods and there even some competitions? What about here? Any ideas?

What do you guys feel? Hit me up and give me more ideas…

I just had a mini-Jerry Maguire memo moment last night and wrote this up but I sure won’t be fired for it…if you know what I mean.
