How the Right Job Can Make You Happier

Posted: 3/19/2019 8:00 AM by Interim HealthCare

March 20 is the International Day of Happiness. A day to celebrate the happiness in your life, and to take steps toward increasing happiness wherever it’s needed.

Unfortunately, only about half of people are happy with their jobs (you could take a glass half full or glass half empty look at that statistic!). Being happy in your spare time is important, but the reality is that we spend 1/3 of our lives (or more) at work. Finding jobs that are rewarding and make us happy can have a tremendous impact on our health.

A home care job with Interim HealthCare can make you happier!

Research shows that choosing a job that helps others can lead to more happiness. We couldn’t agree more! Caregiver careers with Interim HealthCare offer you an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people right in your community.

Here are just some of the ways a caregiver job with Interim HealthCare can make you happier:

You’re not stuck behind a desk all day.

Caregivers aren’t trapped in a cubicle staring at a screen all day. They’re out in their communities, helping to keep seniors and others happy, healthy and safe. Your view changes throughout the day, keeping things fresh and invigorating.

No two days are the same.

While your daily tasks are straightforward, no two days are exactly the same when you are a caregiver. Home care careers mean that one day, you could be playing a game with a senior. The next, you could be sipping some tea and sharing stories. Every day is a new adventure.

You’re making a profound difference.

Working with patients to provide care and help them stay healthy is immensely rewarding, but can also be emotionally taxing at times. Yet, even when days are a bit stressful, home care employees at Interim HealthCare have the satisfaction and ensuing happiness of knowing they are having a positive impact on the individuals they serve, as well as their communities.

You are in a growing industry.

The home care industry is booming. As more seniors are electing to stay in their homes, an increasing number of home care aides and nurses are needed to provide them with essential care.

You deserve a job that makes you happy.
