Strategic Reboarding

Strategic Reboarding

Professional Return Support Across All Life Stages

von Katharina Stadtler

This book is dedicated to the four major types of return‑to‑work personnel movements: returning after time spent at another company, after long‑term sick leave, after parental leave, and returning to an operational role following a period in a leadership position. These four reboarding scenarios are currently underrepresented in the professional literature. However, all four are essential for life‑phase‑oriented HR management and effective retention management. The book serves as a valuable practical guide for HR professionals and leaders, enabling them to implement these strategically important measures in a solution‑focused way within their organizations.
