Can I ask to shift my role to part-time temporarily?
Yes, many companies offer temporary part-time options for employees facing personal challenges.
If you're dealing with personal challenges or health issues, requesting a temporary shift to part-time can be a viable option. Many companies provide flexibility for employees in tough situations, such as caring for a newborn, recovering from illness, or pursuing further education. When making this request, explain your circumstances and how a part-time schedule will help you manage them while continuing to contribute to the company. It’s important to emphasize how this is a temporary arrangement and offer a plan for balancing your workload. Many employers value this level of transparency.
