Leave Corporate Burnout Behind & Find Your Next Career

If your job is so stressful you find yourself dreading each workday, constantly counting down to the weekend, and feeling persistently drained, you may be suffering corporate burnout. In this state, professional demands overwhelm your capacity to cope, leading to feelings of inadequacy and detachment from work.

According to the World Health Organization, burnout is characterized by three things: feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion, increased mental distance from one’s job, and reduced professional efficacy. Burnout not only affects your work performance but can also spill over into your personal life, impacting relationships and personal well-being.

In the wake of the pandemic, more and more workers report symptoms of burnout. A survey conducted by FlexJobs, in partnership with Mental Health America, found that 75% of respondents experienced burnout at work, with 40% saying they felt burnout specifically during the pandemic.

To deal with burnout, some people are “quiet quitting,” or doing just enough to get by at work. Others are looking for new jobs. But for some, the cure to burnout is leaving the corporate world behind.

Post-Burnout Career Change

If you are tired of the 9-to-5 rat race and considering a career change after burnout, you may be wondering what it would be like to own your own business, instead of working for someone else. Many people in your circumstances have turned to franchising. Buying a franchise offers you independence and the potential for financial success. Unlike starting a business on your own, as a franchisee you get the full support of the parent company.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the benefits of franchising.

• Autonomy and flexibility: As a franchise owner, you have the freedom to make decisions that align with your values and lifestyle. This autonomy can be a breath of fresh air for those suffering from corporate burnout.
• Proven business model: Starting a business from scratch can be stressful. Franchises offer a proven business model, reducing the uncertainty associated with new ventures.
• Support and training: Franchises come with an established support system. Training and ongoing assistance from the franchisor can ease the transition from employee to business owner, making it a less daunting experience.
• Potential for success: While no business venture is without risk, the brand recognition and operational support franchises offer give you a strong foundation on which to build a successful business, which may possibly lead to a more stable financial future.
