Navigating Part-Time Work: Strategies for Employees

Many workers want to switch to part-time jobs, but it's important to approach this carefully.

Before asking, consider if you can afford to lose your job.

You need a plan to show your boss how you'll still be valuable.

Think about what you uniquely offer the company.

Don't focus solely on hours; highlight what you contribute.

Protect your health and retirement benefits, knowing how many hours you must work to keep them.

Giving too much advance notice could put your job at risk.
