In our post-pandemic world, building employee resilience is more important than ever. Research has shown that high levels of resilience mean employees are:
- 43% more productive
- 47% more engaged at work
- 2x more likely to stay at their current organisation
- 3x more likely to experience greater well-being
Resilience acts as a buffer against stress, as well as ‘burnout’. Resilient employees are likely to be more creative, able to adapt to change, and persist in the face of adversity. This behaviour results in improved performance in a rapidly transforming workplace.
Resilience at work
Employee resilience can be assessed and developed in many ways:
- 1 to 1 coaching: Focused sessions helping individuals develop resilience in the workplace
- Workshops: Group sessions to upskill multiple employees
- Well-being programmes: Built into wider well-being programmes, with the potential to involve apps or e-learning
- Selection interviews: Explorative interviews in pre-hire or post-hire selection
