A resilient workforce is a profitable workforce
Resilience is the term we use to describe how effectively we bounce back to normal from experiencing adverse events at home and at work. Resilience is, also, the term we use to describe someone who has a high level of energy and determination to drive through ideas and actions in the face of challenges that could undermine the successful conclusion of a plan of action.
Resilience is about personal strength; it’s about how well we can absorb and ignore the knocks and experiences of everyday life at home and at work so that they don’t interfere with our daily routines.
Resilience is typically idiosyncratic. One person’s resilience against seeing snakes in the grass can be another person’s terrifying ordeal; one is not affected by seeing snakes, whilst the other may suffer shock for sometime after the event. Resilience is, therefore, a form of desensitisation, reducing our levels of sensitivity to adverse events, providing us with the skills, knowledge and experience to overcome difficult experiences.
Achieving high levels of resilience at work makes a significant contribution to the reduction of sickness absence, staff turnover and the high costs that these incur.
By being resilient to various diversions at work, employers see an increase in productivity and efficiency.
A resilient workforce is a profitable workforce.
