Topic: “Well Being or Wellness for Business Owners and Managers”

Presentation Title: “ I’m not a psychologist so how can I make sure my people thrive in the workplace?”

This is a question many store owners, store managers and team leaders are asking themselves. This presentation at the AGM will provide an opportunity for members to reflect, and discuss questions, such as:

• What do we mean by the term “wellbeing”?
• What are the specific roles that store owners, store managers and team leaders play in creating mentally healthy workplaces?
• How is “wellbeing” measured at store level? Whose job is that?
• As a store owner, how can I support my store managers on this challenge?
• How NML can provide practical support to store managers...our offer to co-design.
• Q&A
