Balancing work and family doesn’t have to be a struggle. Discover how owning a franchise helps you lead a successful career while prioritizing your family and personal life.<\/p>\n
Parenting is hard work. Juggling work commitments, childcare responsibilities, and household duties are difficult for dual-income families. While men are stepping up more than previous generations to help with the daily chores and childrearing efforts, moms still shoulder the burden of childcare duties. Nearly 47% of mothers are the primary breadwinners, but 50% still handle the majority of household tasks, according to a survey of 17,000 mothers conducted by Mother.ly<\/a>, an online resource for mothers.<\/p>\n The pandemic outbreak brought the hard work of mothers into focus. With the added responsibility of chaperoning children during remote school, moms made tough career decisions. At least 1.1 million women<\/a> left the workforce from February 2020 to January 2022. Hybrid schedules and remote work are helping alleviate some of the stress that mothers face, but 48% are still dissatisfied with their employers\u2019 \u201clack of flexibility and paid time off,\u201d Mother.ly reports.<\/p>\n Moms aren\u2019t the only ones dealing with stress. Up to 5 million<\/a> U.S. parents a year report workplace burnout, and many adults struggle to balance their careers and self-care. One of the downsides of greater flexibility is unplugging at the end of the workday. Mobile devices enable employers to make after-hours requests and make it too easy for people to check in on vacation. According to a poll conducted by Insider<\/a>, approximately two-thirds of Americans check their work email when they are on vacation.<\/p>\n While pandemic numbers are low enough now for most people to return to their old lives, many Americans refused to return to the status quo. People are turning to \u201cquiet quitting\u201d to balance work and family. Quiet quitting is when people stop being emotionally invested at work and only accomplish the essential duties required to get a paycheck. A new Gallup<\/a> poll reveals at least half of the U.S. workforce is disengaged, or quiet quitting. Doing the bare minimum may solve the work-life conundrum in the short term, but it can hamper a person\u2019s career advancement.<\/p>\n It might surprise you to learn that entrepreneurship may be the answer to balancing work and family. Taking charge of your future by investing in a business fosters work-life balance and career satisfaction.<\/p>\n Partnering with a franchise may be the answer if you\u2019re tired of trying to find the perfect harmony between work and personal life. Franchising eliminates the guesswork and provides the training you need to succeed. The franchisor already took the time to develop the brand, systems, and procedures. Having a roadmap alleviates the headaches involved in starting a new business and can put you on a path to profitability.<\/p>\n Not all the businesses in the franchise industry fit this bill. Owning a restaurant or retail store can be a heavy load. Fortunately, many low-investment opportunities offer high rewards for dedicated owners. Here are six tips for finding work-life balance in franchising.<\/p>\n Rely on your peer network.<\/strong> Tapping your network of peers reduces risk and hassle.
