Mahindra Group Launches SOAR, Returnship Program for Women

Mahindra Group has launched “SOAR: Seamless Opportunity for Amazing Returnships,” an initiative designed to create inclusive workplaces by supporting women returning to their careers.

This program provides full-time roles across Mahindra Group companies for women with at least five years of professional experience.

Program Goals

SOAR is designed to assist women who have taken a career break of 6 months to 3 years in rejoining the workforce.

By offering structured onboarding, mentorship, and long-term engagement, the program helps participants reestablish their careers while showcasing their skills in meaningful roles.

Mahindra Group aims to become a preferred employer for women resuming their professional paths.

Eligibility and Program Features

Women with a minimum of five years of prior work experience who have taken a career break of 6 months to 3 years are eligible.

This broad criterion ensures the program attracts experienced professionals from diverse industries.

Key Features

  • Full-Time Roles: Participants receive full-time positions aligned with their skills and experience, ensuring stability and career progression.
  • Flexible Options: For specific roles, part-time and job-sharing opportunities are available, allowing a smoother transition back to work.
  • Recruitment and Induction: A streamlined application process ensures clarity, while a tailored induction program provides participants with essential training and mentorship.

Mentorship and Support Framework

SOAR offers a robust support system to ease the transition back to work:

  • Buddy System: A peer buddy is assigned to each participant for six months to provide day-to-day assistance.
  • Mentorship: Senior mentors guide participants for six months, offering career advice and insights to rebuild confidence.
  • Cohort-Based Engagement: Participants are grouped into cohorts, promoting peer learning and collaboration.
  • Feedback and Monitoring: Regular reviews at intervals of 30, 60, 90 days, and beyond ensure continuous growth and satisfaction.

Why SOAR Stands Out

SOAR distinguishes itself by offering comprehensive support and full-time opportunities. The program’s governance model ensures participants are fully integrated into their roles, with regular performance reviews and ongoing mentorship.

Mahindra Group’s emphasis on inclusivity and professional growth ensures participants feel valued and engaged, making this program a standout initiative in corporate India.

By addressing the unique challenges women face when returning to work, SOAR paves the way for renewed careers and lasting success.
