O'Connor Marketing Respond to Study Claiming Australians Feel Financially Stressed

    SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, November 02, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A new national study has found that more than one in four Australian employees is feeling financially stressed and are finding it increasingly difficult to make ends meet. The research reported that only 48 percent of employees feel confident about their financial situations, a six percent drop from last year.

The study, which surveyed more than 2000 Australian employees, also found that the stress of worrying about finances is having a significant impact on health and performance. On average, financially stressed professionals take an extra four days off sick a year, and lose 6.9 hours a week of productive work time - which ultimately exacerbates their stress and financial worries.
In the resulting report by Kantar TNS, four factors were found to be the most common causes of financial stress. Bad debt, Home loan repayments, concerns about retirement and only having access to casual or part-time work were found to increase a person's chance of experiencing financial worry significantly.

O'Connor Marketing, a leading force in outsourced sales and marketing were hugely concerned by the results of the national study, and as a result, are championing self-employment as a means for ambitious and self-motivated individuals to take control of their finances. While the firm understands that self-employment isn't for everyone, the company are confident that many Australian employees could achieve financial freedom by escaping the confines of traditional employment. While employment can offer a greater job security; the firm believes that working in an uninspiring role, with capped and restricted earning potential could be harming the country's young workforce. O'Connor Marketing believes that it is important to educate young workers on the benefits of self-employment, and how the experience can help to develop a wider skill set and offers the freedom to work more creatively and on their own terms.

O'Connor Marketing work predominantly with independent, self-employed contractors, and have invested a lot of time and effort to ensure these ambitious individuals feel supported and understand how to get the most from self-employment. The firm regularly offers advice and workshops focused on helping their contractors to progress professionally and build a bright and prosperous future.
