The Importance of valuing wellbeing in small business

The Importance of valuing wellbeing in small business

We spend a third of our lives at work, and when things go well, it’s fulfilling and rewarding.

But running or working in a small business often comes with unique challenges; long hours, blurred work-life boundaries and financial strain can make it stressful, especially with the cost-of-living challenges. The journey can also be isolating, making it hard to connect with others who understand the highs and lows.

When you take care of your mental health, you can better manage stress, build stronger relationships, and boost productivity. However, many small business owners struggle to access workplace well-being programs due to time, cost, or resource limitations.
