Hi everyone,

Looking for some honest insights from folks here.

I have ~6 years of experience in IT, but I took a ~1 year break due to personal/family priorities. Now that I’m getting back into the job market, I wanted to understand:

- How do you address this gap during interviews?
- What kind of explanation has worked well for you?
- Did you face any challenges in shortlisting or HR screening because of this?
- Any tips to confidently position this gap without it becoming a concern?

Seeking ideas for boosting morale in an office. What activities or rituals do you implement that are appreciated by your staff? We do lunch almost once a month and even that feels forced. Some staff don’t interact with others because they are just introverted (not for any other reason). The team seems to open up when we play ice breaker questions but I’m losing my creativity with interesting questions. Looking for more ideas.

Really not sure how to handle it aside from counseling but that isn’t getting me anywhere fast. Thoughts?
