Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Taking proactive steps to reintegrate returning women back into the workforce is the best choice as it addresses the root cause of the problem, which is the early departure of highly-qualified, professional women from the workforce. Retention plans alone may not be enough to retain this group of workers, and hiring younger male workers or requiring Baby Boomer women to work longer before retirement does not address the issue of retaining highly-qualified women in the first place.
