Overview

Small business owners often find themselves supporting staff, customers and clients through challenging situations while managing the everyday demands of running a business. Knowing how to provide support while maintaining appropriate boundaries is essential for both personal wellbeing and healthy business relationships.

This workshop explores the impact of stress, burnout and psychosocial risks in a small business. Participants will learn practical strategies to navigate difficult conversations, respond to wellbeing concerns with confidence and understand their responsibilities when creating a safe and supportive workplace.

The session also focuses on the importance of looking after your own wellbeing, recognising when additional support may be needed, and connecting with appropriate services and resources to help you and your business thrive.

  • Recognising the signs that you, your staff or others may need support.
