The 12-week program intends to support women going back to the office after a two-year or much longer respite.

Louise Karim, Managing Director of Mums@Work, part of the Mackenzie Jones group, said: "Our choice to launch this initiative is driven by the number of gifted women we have actually met that are struggling to go back to the work environment. Many women have incredible proficiency to provide businesses in the region, yet lack the platform to showcase it. The program, developed collaboratively with the business that partner with us, allows for part-time and flexible roles, providing the best possibility for professional growth whilst balancing family life."

Over the coming months, we want to expand the program and are eager to speak with services huge and little that wish to sign up with the movement."

The preliminary phase of the programme will see Mums@Work attach prospects to leading global companies such as IBM, Visa, APCO Worldwide and Virgin. The 'returnship' offers females one-on-one mentoring, customized on-the-job training and numerous networking opportunities to boost their account within the UAE business community.
