The Breathe Challenge

Breathe’s simple people management and payroll solution was created to help Aussie small businesses save time and manage their people the right way. But in these times we recognise a different kind of support is required to help small business get back to business – which is why we’re launching Big for Small.

We hope that this initiative will go a long way to bringing life back into the small business sector

The premise of the initiative is simple: We’re giving our employees $20 a day to spend at a local small business – and we’re challenging other big businesses to get involved.

While we’ve chosen to provide our employees with cash, there are plenty of other ways organisations can support small businesses. Encouraging employees to take a longer lunch break or giving employees extra time to get a haircut or manicure (thereby increasing the likelihood of them spending more) would all serve to help small businesses return to normal.
