Create the Work Culture You Want by Owning a Franchise Business

“Work culture” is becoming more of an issue in discussions about career satisfaction and employee retention. People want more from their jobs than just a paycheck and will move from job to job looking for the right fit. Since half of one’s waking hours are spent at work, the overall environment is certainly an important consideration.

If your job is stressful and unfulfilling, maybe it’s time for a change

When things at work go bad, here are some of the top reasons people quit their jobs:

• Bad boss — toxic relationship or no relationship at all, no connection
• Boring work — no new challenges or opportunities for growth or advancement
• Bummer co-workers — difficult relationships, no friendly interactions, distrust
• Below the radar — no recognition, not an active contributor to the company, not heard
• Beneficial purpose — the job doesn’t feed the need for doing something meaningful
• Barren company culture — no humanity behind just making money

If you’re stuck in a job that doesn’t make going to work each day a happy thought, maybe you should be your own boss and develop a work culture that will be fulfilling personally and professionally. As an independent franchise business owner with Home Franchise Concepts® (HFC), you can do exactly that.

Three brands, one culture of caring

Build a team to share the dream of a fulfilling career for every individual

HFC has been launching successful franchise business owners for 25 years, with over 3,400 franchise territories in the U.S. and Canada. With a proven business model and core values of Commitment, Transparency, Collaboration, Caring and Trust, franchisor/franchisee relationships contribute to success for everyone in the network, from Home Office leadership, support teams, and employees to franchise owners and their individual teams across the country.

You have the opportunity to run a franchise business in a work culture that you desire.

• Set your own business goals
• Be a sole-proprietor or bring on partners and family members
• Control your workdays and schedule
• Build your team by hiring people you want to work with
• Be the kind of boss you would support and appreciate

Many of our franchise owners say that they are empowered to give back to their communities and favorite charities because they are in control. As the boss, you can build initiatives and relationships that give meaning and satisfaction to your efforts beyond just an income. Here are some of the ways our franchisees live out their chosen work cultures of giving back.

• Supporting community organizations that focus on providing shelter or other needs for families who are in poverty or experiencing domestic violence or other abuse.
• Donating time, product, and expertise to a local Habitat for Humanity.
• Pledging a dollar amount per unit sold and donating the proceeds to a local charity.
• Contributing to fundraisers and silent auctions to support schools, children’s programs, youth athletic foundations, and art booster clubs.
• Donating and installing window treatments in local schools, churches, veterans’ private homes, children’s support groups, and teen halfway houses.
• Build a workforce of veterans
