Looking to rejoin the workforce, change jobs or juggle another job? There are various reasons why people already in the workforce seek to move from full- to part-time work. They may want to scale down and ease into retirement, or are seeking shorter working hours because they need to spend more time with their children or ageing parents. Whatever the reason, if you are seeking part-time or more flexible work, here are some tips from expert Michelle Gibbings.
THINK AHEAD
It’s often easier to get flexible work in the organisation you are already working for. If you are keen to go part-time, give your boss plenty of notice so they have time to consider and plan. If they are hesitant about how it may work and its suitability, offer to go part-time on a trial basis so you can demonstrate to them that it can work. If you are doing this on a trial basis, be clear on the trial’s duration and how you are both going to assess whether it’s been effective (or not).
