Abstract | Social enterprise work often involves supporting individuals who have faced difficulties and hardships. This, combined with the commercial pressures of delivering efficient and quality services, can lead to demanding and stressful conditions. For example, social enterprises team members in these roles often work non-standard hours with limited peer support, especially in regional, rural and remote areas. Similarly, founders and leaders, in addition to their role in establishing and growing their enterprises, often share the same workload as staff, contributing to the overall strain. Aligned with strategic State/Federal priorities to support sustainable development and strengthen the social enterprise sector, this Guide has been developed to enhance the wellbeing of those at the heart of regional, rural, and remote social enterprises—founders and team members. By sharing the experiences of founders and leaders, fostering collaboration and providing resources, the Guide aims to enable those leading social enterprises to navigate challenges, adapt to changing circumstances, and continue to make a positive impact on their communities. |
