Introduction to Resilience

Optimal conditions are important for employees to thrive in the workplace. In any workplace, there will be many challenges that employees must cope with, some well within their control and some that are not. Today, organizations are plagued by chronic job insecurity, intensified workloads, and heavy demands in the work-family interface. There is considerable legislative emphasis and corporate governance codes on corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the duty of directors to have regard for the long-term sustainable success of the company. With the health of employees central to this ideal, the fusion of resilience and CSR in support of employee thriving appears a natural fit.

Research activity continues to emphasize the relationship between work design, organization climate, or culture, and employee health and well-being. Employee resilience represents a psychological reservoir packed with positive resourcefulness, enabling employees confronted by challenges, at work, and in other life domains, to remain healthy and, so, thrive. The ability of employees to navigate, deal with, and thrive through the complex challenges implies workplace constituent connections and organizational mechanisms that interact with individual-level differences and psychometric properties. Such findings inform the route into resilient organizations where employers contribute to the practitioner and academic discourse.

Emerging with psychology roots, resilience is a construct, a subject of personal skill, and a personal resource. It is a construct representing the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, threats, or significant sources of stress. The high-level functioning of resilience enables employees to maintain well-being and cope with adversity or a change of environment by tapping into characteristics, resources, and effective coping strategies. It is subject to personal skill as the behaviors, attitudes, and mental habits connected to resilience can be learnt, developed, and applied. Resilience training, interventions, and organizational learning activities facilitate employees in better understanding, managing, and bouncing back from workplace risks and collective exposure to stress. Employees are less likely to buckle and get swamped by feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, or the lack of control associated with burnout, anxiety, and depression. Resilience is not only that but a predictor of well-being, which is a health state defined to include purpose, mantra, mastery, resilience, self-expansion, and self-acceptance. A resilient employee generates psychological and physiological benefits arising from participating to his or her full potential in the workplace and in life.
