Phillip Island Business Network - May Update

Creating Wellbeing in our Workplaces
Picture

Did you know that 93% of employees reported that they value support for their physical, emotional and mental wellbeing as much as what they are paid?!

In conjunction with Business Victoria and The Wellbeing Lab, PIBN is pleased to offer the opportunity for two of our business community members to complete a Certificate in Creating Mental Wellbeing in the Workplace. This course will be delivered Tuesday 23 OR Thursday 25th May (online) and followed up by 1-1 coaching with a qualified mentor and is normally valued at more than $3k, but available free of charge via our successful Wellbeing Grant.  

With more Wellbeing Leaders in our network, we can boost the wellbeing, resilience and performance of the Phillip Island Community. 

Please phone Jessica #0400 640 489 to confirm your place. 

Sip & Learn Event

Our reccent 'Sip & Learn' event was a great success with a fantastic turnout of members. 

NBN Co provided valuable information about the current roll out of the NBN Business Fibre upgrade which many businesses in Cape Woolamai and Cowes are eligable for. 

We have direct contact details to NBN so if any member requires assistance with their business connections please let us know and we can make the neccessary introductions. 

Our next event will be a breakfast focused on Cyber Security, likely in the week 19-23 June. Details TBC but please keep an eye on our socials for further information.

Are you a business owner or operator from the Phillip Island + Bass Coast region who interacts with short-stay or day tripper visitors?

As a business operating from a high-risk region, you’re more likely to be impacted by disasters.

Join the FREE Disaster Ready Phillip Island + Bass Coast to build your own toolkit. Registration is now open for Disaster Ready Phillip Island. 

Calling for Social Event Hosts

Would you like to help coordinate a social PIBN event?

We know our members love to get together in a relaxed environment. If you are interested in playing host in a more informal gathering during the year please let me know! You pick the date and location - we will assist you with RSVPs and sharing your event with the group.
