Let’s Talk Polywork…What Is It and Why Should You Care?

Polywork is the practice of taking on multiple jobs. It is not a new idea, but the opportunities to work for two or more employers are more plentiful now, thanks to working from home or hybrid. Some want to follow their interests, and others need extra money to pay the bills.

Learn More About Polywork

Polyworking is about being your boss and serving multiple companies. It allows people to follow their passions. Work-life balance is better when you are not dependent on a single source of income. A polyworker can organize their time for family and friends, leading to satisfaction with personal and professional life.

Workers want diversity, and they enjoy doing different tasks in the workplace. Polywork creates a relaxed work environment where workers can explore their talents. Polywork connects workers and employers well. The flexibility of these jobs offers workers the chance to organize their time better.

Why You Should Care About Polywork

So now that you know a little bit more about what polywork is, here are a few advantages to polywork:

  • Flexibility. Many workers have multiple interests. Especially Millennials and Gen Z who want to explore instead of being locked into one career space. Polywork eliminates needing to be at a desk from 9-5. If you have a stressful career, you can take on an easy and lighthearted side gig.
  • A monetized hobby. Now might be an ideal time to monetize a hobby you enjoy. Instead of forcing a job to fit you, you can look for one that aligns with your talents. If you have true passion, you can invest enough time to get paid.
  • Control of your finances. Extra cash sure helps with high inflation. Perhaps you must pay off student loans, create an emergency fund or save for a vacation. Regardless, an additional job can increase your income. Multiple streams of income put you in charge of your financial future.
  • Skill diversification. Have you been at the same job for years? Maybe it is time to broaden your experience and diversify your skills. It makes you more marketable, giving you the highest ROI. As you explore, you might find something you are excellent at and want to pursue further!
  • Avoid pitfalls. Juggling multiple roles requires planning and balancing priorities. Set boundaries regarding your schedule. Remember to leave yourself enough time to eat, sleep and socialize. Take care of your mental health and prioritize your well-being above all.
