Can I ask for time off for personal development, like attending a workshop?
Yes, many employers support personal development and allow time off for workshops or conferences.
Personal development is key to career growth, and many employers recognize this by allowing time off for attending workshops, seminars, or conferences. If the event is relevant to your role or industry, you might even get financial support or paid leave. Discuss the benefits of the event for both you and the company when making your request to increase the likelihood of approval.
