Changing job internally

    Hi All,

    Firstly to begin I work in Sales and do a hell of a lot of driving as you would expect. A number of months ago I began experiencing pain whilst driving and doing some day to day activities. I ended up having to have an operation to try and solve the problem but alas it hasn't worked particularly well and I'm still having problems driving.

    So I'm beginning to think I need to change job roles as the driving is particularly problematic. Does anyone have any suggestions on how best to approach the subject of a role change with my boss etc?

    It can be a tough one. Your employer isn't obliged to find a new role for you, though a decent employer will often be happy to keep a good employee on board. It is often easier to make a switch in a large organisation where there may be more turnover and more open positions to move into. The ideal situation is to find an open role that you're suitable for, and go from there. If that's not possible, a lot will depend on your relationship with your boss.

    Yeah it's a tough one really. Work do know that I'm struggling and have said they'll do what they can and that health is the number 1 thing. That is providing some comfort but when the push comes to shove I'm just not sure how to approach the subject!

    That is a good idea to keep an eye on internal jobs and bring up the subject if a suitable job appears.
