Episode description

Before asking make sure:

  1. Your performance is meeting expectations
  2. Your leader trusts you to do your work
  3. Know what you want / need

Flexibility could be:

  • Hours
  • Days
  • Working from home
  • Shifting focus
  • Shifting workloads
  • Work from family member's home
  • Adjusting goals
  • Changing expectations

Asking your leader for flexibility:

  1. Let them know what you're looking for
  2. Let them know why you're looking for it
  3. Assure them your quality / quantity of work will not decrease
  4. Assure them your work is high priority
  5. Offer to set up check-ins each week
  6. Let them know how it will help and the benefits
  7. Lay out the structure you're set up so they know you'll be successful
