ABOUT

Working in a small business or being a small business owner can be challenging. Long hours, navigating government regulations, financial pressures, and juggling multiple roles often push caring for our wellbeing down the priority list.

Recently, there has been a focus on mental health and wellbeing in the workplace. Employers are responsible for ensuring the safety of their workers, which includes supporting mental health and wellbeing. Governments are also addressing “psychosocial hazards” that can harm mental health. We know that taking care of your mental health and wellbeing can lead to better health, ability to manage stress, improved relationships and greater output, productivity and job satisfaction. But many of the options aiming to help businesses develop a culture of wellbeing – including ours – are difficult for smaller businesses to access. Small businesses may not have the time, resources, or financial capacity, to invest in solutions to support their wellbeing and may therefore miss out.

To help solve this problem, South Australia’s Office for Small and Family Business has awarded Be Well Co and our partner organisation Gallagher Bassett, a grant to provide small and family business and sole traders throughout South Australia free access to our leading workplace wellbeing training offerings. This enables us to empower small businesses to take steps to support their wellbeing and help their business thrive.

“I have found the Be Well Program to be invaluable to my mental and emotional well-being. What really stood out to me regarding this program was the large amount of different, evidence-based practices and tools on offer to improve one’s well-being. The choices were vast and there is something there for everyone.” Mitsubishi Australia “I enjoyed that here wasn’t a one size fits all for the resilience program. Information was backed up by research evidence and factual data which was easy to relate to and comprehend the information we were given. The booklet with the activities was a big support to discovering what works for each individual, I appreciated that a lot.” Department of Treasury and Finance “It was great being able to open up about our mental health in a safe space and support each other’s journey and goals. A lot of the program was broken down into exercises like mindfulness, but to actually learn the science behind why 
it works and put it into practice made a 
huge difference.” Flinders University “Everyone I’ve spoken to has good things to say about the program. They’ve found themselves feeling more grounded and connected to their inner selves and have said they are able to remain more focused during customer interactions.” Westpac “I have brighter, happier thoughts, nothing is so intensely stressful that I can’t figure out a logical way to deal with it, I feel I have become a better person to be around both in my work life and 
at home.” Mission Australia
