Reserve Squad

Reserve Squad is a comprehensive talent solution that helps companies retain one of its most valuable assets—its highly trained female workforce. Four in ten women voluntarily leave the workforce for a temporary time period at some point in their careers—the majority of whom do so for family obligations or family caretaking. Women are caretakers. But they are also lawyers, bankers, accountants, marketers, executives—professionals who have so much invested in their own careers. Data tells us that 74% of women who temporarily leave the workforce intend to return, yet companies struggle to retain them. Reserve Squad provides comprehensive solutions for companies eager to update their approach to women’s workplace needs with the goal of reaching executive parity. Reserve Squad works with organizations to determine the best way to support, develop and stay connected to highly-skilled and trained employees when they wish to temporarily pause their careers. Reservist status allows women to take time off to raise families, while remaining in the loop via continuous access to developmental training, company updates and opportunities to serve as brand ambassadors and company advocates. These practices not only enable the reservists to be prepared for project work during their absence, but ensures they are fully prepared to report for a full-time opportunity when ready. Balanced Endeavors, a product of Reserve Squad, is a powerful small group, life coaching program that helps women design a more balanced life. We help women develop their personal definition of a successful and rewarding life and provide support for achieving their goals through a community of like-minded women and trained coaches and facilitators. The Balanced Endeavors program supports women at all stages of their lives and focuses on mind, body and spirit needs.
