This study evaluates the first returnship program adopted by the CJ group in July, 2013. The evaluation of the program is based on the result of interviews with the co-workers and the supervisors of the program participants, as well as the survey for the CJ returnship participants who were eventually employed at the 11 participating affiliated firms. The CJ returnship program was initially adopted to meet the increasing demands for well qualified workers with prior work experience. It was also initiated to enhance the brand image of the CJ group for a female friendly work environment by supporting the government's policy to increase the female employment rate in Korea. The most important feature of the CJ returnship program is that the program participants go through a 6 week long internship in the department in which they join after the final employment decision is made. Through this internship period, the returnees can not only adjust to their new working life but also reshape their skills for the job. The firm can also reduce the risk associated with hiring experienced workers with prior knowledge. The results show that the participants are satisfied with the overall program. They are particularly satisfied with the effectiveness of the 6 week internship program, the opportunity of self realization the returnship provides, and the compatibility between work and family life. The results from the additional regression analysis confirms that whether or not the participants finally get to work in the job they hope to is a very significant factor in their overall satisfaction of the program. Furthermore, the co-workers and the supervisors of the program participants also evaluate the returnship program positively as a new hiring system that can attract skilled female workers who can experience a break from their carrier paths but still have valuable knowledge and skills for companies. However, most of the participants point out that the decision process for the participants’ positions and wages should be further developed to incorporate their actual knowledge and skills.
