How can I communicate my needs with my employer as a working parent?

  1. Schedule a Conversation: Plan a time to discuss your needs with your manager without interruptions.
  2. Be Clear About Your Needs: Outline specific adjustments, like flexible hours or remote work, and explain how they’ll benefit both you and your productivity.
  3. Prepare Solutions: Offer ideas to meet job expectations, showing that you’re committed to your role.
  4. Follow Up: Reassess periodically and keep the conversation open as needs evolve.
