The Government has launched a new tool to help small business owner-operators manage and improve their mental wellbeing.
Small Business Minister Ginny Andersen said the Brave in Business e-Learning series was another tool the Government had delivered to support small businesses with their mental health and wellbeing.
“A pandemic, aglobal surge in inflation and major weather events have all impacted and disrupted business over the last couple of years. These new resources are aimed at helping owner-operators learn practical tips to manage stress and focus on getting what they need done,” Andersen said.
“Our recovery from the pandemic and recent weather events not only relies on economic performance, but also the mental health and wellbeing of all New Zealanders.”
The series includes two courses, each featuring short videos, resources, and a check-in survey. They were developed by business.govt.nz in partnership with Spark Business Lab.
The resources and tools are all practical with easy-to-follow pieces of advice from the Institute of Organisational Psychology. Topics include how to prioritise for success and how to take control when overwhelmed.
The new series joins a range of other mental health and wellbeing resources that the Government has provided to small businesses through business.govt.nz.
