Supporting businesses while they’re doing it tough
CommBank and Smiling Mind are supporting Australians to navigate the challenges of running a business in the current climate of economic uncertainty.
Help your business brain thrive
Research shows more than half of Australian small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are feeling the stress of navigating the cost-of-living crisis, with 52% of business owners and senior managers reporting their mental health had been impacted in the last 12 months by the economic climate. Alarmingly, only 12% of those affected have sought support.
Business owners, leaders and employees can freely access a new collection in the Smiling Mind App, designed specifically to build mental fitness and support people to thrive at work. This proactive resource, available 24/7, provides practical support and guided strategies to promote mental fitness and navigate challenges.
