Build a Resilient HR Team
Equip HR with the resilience techniques needed to support themselves and the organization.
- Building resilience is incredibly complex. It involves the intersection of individual mindsets and behaviors that are impacted by work factors and personal factors. Many of these factors are outside the organization’s control.
- Mindsets, a key aspect of resilience, are very difficult for the organization to directly impact. To add to this complexity, it's very hard to separate resilience and wellbeing.
