Return to work programs
Submission deadline: 7 June 2024
First Publish Dates: 1-5 July 2024
This month we will be revisiting a topic that has always been widely popular on our platforms – returning to work after extended breaks.
About the return to work programs campaign
We are asking eligible Endorsed Employers to share the details of the return-to-work initiatives they provide.
Not only will the article help our community of women feel that their experiences are seen and supported, but it will also provide them with actionable links to opportunities within your organization.
The questions to answer
- Describe the return to work initiatives or programs your organization offers.
- What are the eligibility criteria?
- Can you supply a short testimonial from someone who has participated in the program? If it’s a new program, a testimonial from whoever led the development of the initiative would also be great.
Word limit: 350 words
Please make sure your submission includes the name, pronouns, role title, and a picture of the person(s) we can attribute the answers to in the article.
Keep in mind that your submission will be published along with submissions from other Endorsed Employers too. Here are some suggestions to consider to help yours stand out:
- We are looking for specific return to work programs, so submissions that only discuss the provision of flexible working arrangements will not be eligible.
- There are multiple reasons people take career breaks beyond just parental leave. Consider if people who take breaks to travel, pursue athletic careers, or for other financial reasons are also eligible.

FAQs
What type of images do you need?
Please ensure any headshot photos are high resolution (minimum 1MB), ideally taken against light and neutral backgrounds, with the individual’s face visible and not blurry, to ensure we can use them in the campaign.
Ensure to include a description of all images in the image file name, including the name, role title and pronouns of the pictured people.
How will the advocacy campaign content be shared?
The advocacy campaign content may be curated into any number of formats, including long-form articles, shorter carousel-style stories, videos, or infographics. Each content piece will then be shared across a variety of marketing platforms including our website, social media channels and newsletters. Where relevant we will also broadcast through our partner network and syndicate affiliations.
Will all my content be included?
Due to the high volume and variety of submissions for each focus area, we are unable to include every word of every supplied Endorsed Employers’ content. We will carefully adapt, edit, and curate the content to meet the needs of your organization, but also the needs of our audiences, while always maintaining the veracity of what has been supplied.
We rely on all our Endorsed Employers to provide content relevant to the topic details — the more relevant the content provided, the more space it will be given in any individual feature. Our team will be in touch if we need further clarification on your submission.
I need to speak to someone, who should I contact?
Please reach out to your DEI Account Manager, or campaigns@work180.co if you have further questions.
How will I know when a campaign is live?
Once the main campaign content piece is published, you will be provided with the links.
Please feel free to share these across your own channels. If there are specific hashtags that we are using for the campaign, we will provide these to you to utilize when sharing across your own social media platforms.
Will I get to view the campaign before it goes live?
No. The time between drafting, building the content, and publishing is very tight. This along with the number of stakeholders involved in each campaign, and the number of campaign content pieces a single submission may be involved in, it simply isn’t fair or feasible to allow any one client to approve the content before it’s published. We ask that clients get all the content they submit to be approved prior to submitting.
