Chapter Chapter 6 in Building Resilience for Success, 2013, pp 145-163 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter and the next, we describe and discuss approaches to building resilience in the workplace. We believe the most effective approach is for organizations to incorporate resilience-building within an overall well-being or other change management strategy, and here we discuss the two main components of such a strategy, (i) resiliencefocused training and development for individuals and (ii) good management practices and organizational strategies that help to build resilience on a wider level. In earlier chapters we commented on the impact of the constantly accelerating rate of technological change that affects both our work lives and our personal lives. Combined with everincreasing pressures to perform, the need for high levels of resilience in the workforce has never been greater, if we are to ensure sustained health and success for individuals and the organizations they work in.
