The pandemic and the ensuing Great Resignation shined a spotlight on workers’ legitimate needs and desires for a career break.

It’s time for employers and employees alike to change their perception of breaks.
By offering certain profile features and sharing research, platforms like LinkedIn are making it easier for employees to include their new career-break skills and attract employers.
