At Genius Abroad, we support professionals and students with some of the biggest challenges most of us experience in our lives – career and wellbeing management. Choosing a career that is not fulfilling often leads to unemployment, burnout and low mood. On the other hand, planning and managing your career well can offer immediate satisfaction and a prosperous professional life.
When should you contact us?
Perhaps the first question you need to ask yourself is: Am I happy with my career? Our question to you then would be: Does the wrong career path matter? Given that the average worker spends over 3,500 days at the workplace, yes. For example, did you know that the most common cause of stress is work-related stress? In the UK, each year, as many as 76% of employees report moderate to high or high levels of stress. This can lead to sleep problems, general aches and pains, raised blood pressure, headaches, weak immune system, muscle tension and digestive issues. Consequently, the wrong career path can lead straight to mental health problems. These can include anxiety, anger problems, depression, substance abuse, and addiction.
