Can I ask for part-time work after having a child?
Yes, many companies offer flexible schedules for new parents, including part-time work arrangements.
After having a child, many parents prefer to reduce their working hours to balance childcare responsibilities. If this is the case for you, it’s worth approaching your employer to discuss a part-time arrangement. Be prepared with a plan that outlines how your responsibilities will be managed and how you’ll continue to contribute effectively, even with reduced hours. Many companies are open to such requests, especially when work-life balance is a priority. This type of flexibility helps retain talent while supporting employees through life changes.
