    Gig Economy Workers Get a Boost in Mental Health

    By Anistar Technologies | Contractors, Employee Resources | Comments are Closed | 27 August, 2019 | 0

    Research surrounding mental health looks at every aspect of a person’s life. Family struggles contribute to mental health issues as much as financial woes, job difficulties and much more. When it comes to the workforce, constant stress at work contributes to a decline in mental health for many employees. Sometimes this stress is unavoidable, so how can you focus on improving your mental health? Many people have found peace by becoming self-employed. Whether it’s in a cyber security career or having high-profile software developer jobs, studies have indicated gig economy workers are happier overall and often have a big boost in mental health. Here are some reasons why.

    Self-Confidence Leads To Higher Satisfaction

    In a way, being self-employed forces you to be confident even in areas where you struggle. This confidence can slowly build up a higher sense of self-worth and happiness, which leads to more satisfaction in the work people do. Satisfaction leads to peace of mind, better emotional stability and better mental health overall. Be confident in yourself and you may be surprised at how much better you start feeling about your expertise.

    Schedule Flexibility Means More Control

    Job requirements can be daunting on a person’s schedule. A good work-life balance is an underrated aspect of mental health, and sometimes it’s not easy to balance them out with the demands of your job. But as a gig economy worker, you can accept electrical installation jobs based on the schedule you choose. Flexibility in your day-to-day schedule can make you feel like you have more control over all aspects of your life, which is a big contributor to great mental health.

    Increase in Self-Worth

    The combination of flexibility, control, satisfaction, confidence and less stress all equate to an increase in a person’s self-worth. People with mental health problems often feel like they don’t fit in with the world around them, so feeling important and valuable are big factors. As a gig worker, you are the go-to person for software developer jobs, electrical installation jobs or any other trade you are an expert at. Sometimes this isn’t necessarily true in an office setting since there are politics that have to be navigated in certain situations. 

    Anistar Technologies is here to help you find the perfect position for your situation, whether it’s part-time, temporary, contract or full-time work. The gig economy is flourishing because people want more flexibility and freedom in their schedule. Companies are taking notice and dipping into this market to fill their open software developer jobs and other open positions. If you’re interested in testing the waters of the gig economy, give us a call and we can answer any questions you may have.
