There are many reasons why healthcare is an industry of choice for women on a break.
It is an area in which most women on a break find themselves spending time, personally, quite often. Whether for their spouses, their pregnancies, their children, the elderly in their family, or relatives who are sick and welcome all help and visitors - women on a break tend to be the ones everyone turns to when they need to navigate the healthcare arena.
And health care doesn't just mean being a doctor or a nurse. There is an army of people who work behind the scenes to make sure that hospitals run smoothly and that everyone who enters is well taken care of, whatever their needs.
Of these, Manipal Health is the one we are partnering with, for RestartHer, and the one that is looking to hire women on a break to join their ranks. They are one of our valued sponsors and a company with whose ideals we are happy to align ourselves.
