Having just started working with a new team, this is something I have been thinking about recently. The boundaries we set in our professional life are just as important as those in our personal life. There are of course some similarities, but also some differences. Some things that I have learnt are:
- Boundaries are super important in professional contexts
- Talk with those around you early and proactively! This can be about about things you are and are not comfortable doing, or around time and hours of work
- Hopefully there is an HR team at your workplace. They can be really helpful to chat to early on
- Even if someone is in a more senior position to you/your boss, they should ALWAYS respect your boundaries!
