Resilience is a necessary response to enable coping with a wide variety of adversities which may be extreme and catastrophic, but may also represent commonplace, everyday difficulties and pressures faced by workplaces on a regular basis.

We view resilience as a cluster of flexible individual and organisational factors which help individuals and organisations to adapt to different types of adversity, enabling them to:

• Perform effectively in the face of pressure, change and stress
• Demonstrate high level managerial and leadership qualities
• Encourage individuals to pull together and promote team morale
• Facilitate clear, calm and constructive communication
•  Support individuals facing challenging situations including work difficulties and personal physical and mental health problems   

We also know that these resilient attitudes and behaviours can be learned using evidence-based methods of changing habitual, often unhelpful, reactions to a stressful environment.  Click here to find out more about this approach.
