Perfectly normal considering many if not most services also follow business hours.

This is the thing, it's impossible to do this outside of work hours often

Doctors and dentists tend to work, you know, during the workday.

It depends on your employer and manager… I personally don’t care… but I’ve had managers in the past that told me I’d have to log it as PTO, some have just said to go and not worry about it…

That's the very definition of acceptable. What's the other option? Paying a couple thousand to do your annual physical in the ER?

I guess it just depends what your manager thinks of it!

I wish more doctors had weekend and evening hours. They could take half the regular work week off. Trying to work around even a few check-ups a year is hard.

It's not a terrible idea as long as they have appropriate time off, they'd be able to fit in their own appointments also like this

Our current principal is pretty good about it.

Perfectly acceptable. I would take a half day and not even bat an eye.

Depends on the team that you're on really but I personally try to schedule on days that I'm not working. I personally don't mind if others go as long as the work gets done though

Has anyone successfully made the career move from an HR specialization to an HRBP role? If so, how? I have been working for 7 years in a very niche HR specialization and while I wear many hats on the HR team, I feel like this is hard to express to recruiters or even get an interview for an HRBP role. My niche area has really burnt me out, as it’s very political and I want to expand my horizons. I am already working on completing my GPHR certification. Any other tips?
