According to a new national survey from IPSE, 86% of freelancers are satisfied with the way they operate.
The survey added to the sectors good morale as many individuals were celebrating National Freelancers Day on Thursday 12th November. The Day was celebrated by thousands of freelancers all over the country, and culminated in an awards ceremony which recognised the outstanding contribution of freelancers nationwide.
Further research revealed that almost two thirds of contractors and freelancers intend to continue working as their own boss for the foreseeable future. However, a minor 2% are looking to switch to permanent roles. This implies that contracting and freelancing is a long term decision with personal benefits rather than what was once thought as a short term solution during the recession.
In addition to this, the survey also discovered that almost 8 in every 10 freelancers and contractors have turned to the workstyle as they enjoy being their own boss and 69% believe this provides a better balance between work and personal life. This proves that many individuals believe contracting can create a bright future with benefits such as the freedom of when you choose to work and how you can build and schedule your work around both your family and personal priorities.
