The idea of the great resignation has begun to take hold and the reality is that many remote and hybrid workers will now never return to their offices. Many of those who do not return to the ‘new normal’ ways of working will become homemakers instead. This is not because these people don’t want to work, instead it’s because they want a different way of work. This article details some of the basics that the modern employee is looking for and how you too can change what you do.
Flexibility
The modern worker has decided that flexibility ranks as high as finance. Research shows that almost all workers want flexibility about when they work and more than 70% on where they work. If you are one of these who want more flexibility, you may be one of the more than 20% who are willing to leave their current employment to get it.
Work life balance
The establishment of a good work life balance that provides the ability for those in employment to still thoroughly enjoy their down time is now one the most sought-after aspects of modern life. Increasing numbers of people are switching fast paced, pressure filled working environments which demand overtime and personal compromise for personal and professional lives that prioritize a simpler but more fulfilling family life.
This is not only following the trend towards greater mental health and wellbeing but also the growing number of people who are now considering the impact of a high consumption lifestyle on the planet.
What the trending options are
Logistics: There are so many options in the logistics sector and one can drive, manage, track or engage in customer services. One of the trending options for the homemaker has been driving and many drive when they want and either take part in long haul delivery trips or do the last mile delivery. The aim will then be to find suitable truck loads and have advanced route planning to ensure that you fill your truck on every trip.
Monetize that hobby: Turning a hobby into a business has been a trending option for the rising number of homemakers who have totally turned their backs on formal office employment. This allows you to not only hone your business skills, but also do something that you love every day while you make money out of it. It also means you are able to choose where you work, when and with who.
Care, health and wellbeing: The provision of profession and vocational care is one of the fastest growing and in demand business opportunities of our time. There are more people living longer and healthier than ever before and as such they will all require care and attention. This could be running errands for them such as shopping or helping them to clean their house – all of which can be done at a time which suits you as well as them.
Work has changed and the opportunity to work differently is a modern reality. As remote and hybrid workers decide that the office still might not be for them, it’s all about the part time roles that can now be done from home just as successfully.
