Return to work

Encore!, one of Barclays’ flagship diversity and citizenship programmes, helps individuals who have taken a career break prepare to reenter the workforce. Barclays values diversity of experience and perspective among its talent and views Encore! as a way to achieve this.

Encore! provides returners with the opportunity to refresh their skills through leadership and development training, mentorship, networking opportunities, and a paid working role for the programme’s duration. Subject to performance and feedback throughout the program, qualified candidates may be offered permanent roles at Barclays.

Piloted in 2016, Encore! has expanded with programmes now in India, the UK, and US.
