| You may find yourself needing an extended leave from work at some point in your career, whether it’s to care for a sick family member, to go back to school, or for another personal reason. But asking your boss for the time off can be daunting. Here's how to approach the conversation. First, emphasize your commitment. Express your desire to remain with the organization, and be clear about the temporary nature of your ask. Give enough information regarding your situation so that they understand your needs, but don’t feel like you have to share anything that might make you uncomfortable. Come up with a communication plan with your manager. What are you going to tell your coworkers, and what are you going to keep between the two of you? And make sure to set clear expectations and boundaries with your boss and your team around your capacity to work during your leave. Everyone is subject to a major life event that could disrupt our ability to work for a while. Be equipped to handle that possibility should it arise. |
