Returning to work after a prolonged absence

To provide long-term support to employees in a healthy, confident and sustainable return to work.

Life's accidents, illness, cancer, pregnancy, exhaustion, caring, long interruption: these absences profoundly transform individuals — and have a lasting impact on work groups.


An unprepared return exposes one to disruptions in their journey, relapses, and a loss of mutual trust.

At Jume, we support companies, managers and HR teams to secure and humanize returns to work after a prolonged absence, particularly post-cancer.


Our approach integrates the cognitive, emotional and identity impacts of post-illness in order to build progressive, realistic and sustainable returns to work.

Expertise based on neuroscience, cognitive psychology and proven practice in post-illness support, serving mental health, sustainable performance and continuity of professional careers.

An approach that combines sustainable performance with genuine concern for people

A poorly supported return to work weakens individuals, disorganizes teams, and jeopardizes long-term performance.

Every return to work is unique. It involves professional identity, mental health, energy, confidence, and the relationship to work. Our support programs enable organizations to:

  • Securing career paths after a period of vulnerability.

  • Reduce the risks of disengagement, relapse or interruption of the treatment process.

  • Equipping managers to provide appropriate support and restore a safe working environment.

  • Strengthen cohesion and mutual understanding within teams.

  • To preserve employability and long-term career prospects.

FemTech player: innovating in women's health to secure career paths.

Health and return-to-work issues affect women and men differently.

Health-related career interruptions affect women and men differently.
Depression is twice as common in women (AP-HP, 2023), and breast cancer accounts for approximately 61,000 new cases per year, mostly in working-age women (National Cancer Institute).
More broadly, 160,000 working people are affected by cancer each year , and 1 in 5 people are no longer employed five years after diagnosis (National Cancer Institute).
After childbirth, 1 in 6 women experience postpartum depression , or approximately 124,000 women in 2021 (National Perinatal Survey, 2021).

JUME programs integrate the psychological, physical and cognitive specificities linked to sex and gender, in order to secure returns to employment, taking into account lived realities.
