What is resilience?
Resilience is the ability to cope with setbacks and find solutions to
problems. It is the ability to bounce back from adversity and hardships,
learn from experiences and move on. Being resilient means having the
strength and conviction to confront life's challenges and adapt
positively to difficult circumstances.
A 2020 Gartner survey revealed that 74% of CFOs and finance leaders
planned to keep their previously on-site workforce working remotely post
COVID-19. Even before the pandemic, the work environment had become one
of constant change. People could no longer expect job stability, working
time had become increasingly fluid and sophistication of technology
meant that businesses were no longer limited to specific geographical
locations to manage their workforce.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, from the uncertainty and stress it
created to the realisation that the world of work will need to change to
deal with economic uncertainties and modified ways of working, means
that resilience is now more important than ever.
Why is resilience important?
We need to build our resilience to cope effectively with ambiguity and
change, and to bounce back in the face of adversity. This is
particularly important if we manage and lead others at work.
Well-being in the Workplace - A guide to resilience for individuals and
teams is aimed at managers who need to build resilience in both
themselves and their team and improve their own and others' well-being.
Remote working makes it even harder for managers to identify if team
members are struggling, and employees may lack the support network to
help them cope with stress in their work and home environments.
