Struggling to Keep Up?

How about hiring a freelancer to help?

Are you a health economist managing multiple projects, dealing with deadlines, and working long hours? Balancing many high-priority tasks, preparing for an important call tomorrow, alongside a submission deadline looming next week, might leave you feeling exhausted. Even though you like your work and your colleagues, the sheer workload can push you to the edge, making you wonder if it’s time to look for a new role elsewhere.

Overwhelmed by the Workload?

When stress and overwork persist, they take a toll on your health, performance, and career satisfaction. Sooner or later, this might lead to burnout—even the strongest among us can be caught off guard by it. To recover, you might need to take an extended sick leave, or it could even force you to abandon the role you enjoy. If this feels familiar, you might want to consider how to lighten your workload.

How a Freelancer Could Ease Your Workload

Rather than just pushing through, think about getting extra support. An experienced freelance health economist can help, for example, by handling one of your projects and giving you more room to breathe. Or, if you prefer to remain in control, a freelancer can assist with parts of your project, such as collecting local cost data, identifying health outcome data, or even drafting the first version of a dossier or paper. This specialised help can significantly lighten your workload, improve your work-life balance, and allow you to excel in your role.
