Why is Resilience Important in the Workplace?
Each and every day, employees are met with challenges, big or small, including:
Disagreements with co-workers
Being short-staffed
Learning to work online or in hybrid work environments
Looming deadlines and fast-paced work
Constant change to systems, protocols and teams
Spilling coffee on their clothes before an important meeting
But the challenges don’t end there.
Just like the rest of us, employees are also dealing with personal, national and global challenges on top of everything happening at work too.
And the fact of the matter is… these challenges will never end.
They are simply a part of life in and out of the workplace.
Here’s the real problem…
When employees are ill-equipped to handle challenges, stress increases, performance declines and the entire company culture, productivity, output and revenue can quickly deteriorate.
This is why employee resilience is so important.
What is Resilience?
Resilience is a person’s ability to bounce back from and adapt to challenges quickly.
Why is resilience important in the workplace?
An employee’s resilience is directly correlated to their productivity, output, engagement and sense of fulfillment in and out of the workplace. And when you have productive, engaged and fulfilled employees, work quality and output goes up while absenteeism and health benefit costs go down.
In other words, when your employees have the tools they need to build resilience, they can overcome daily challenges more quickly and effectively. This will positively impact the entire organization - including both the employee and the company’s bottom line.
Unfortunately…
According to AON’s Rising Resilient Report, only 30% of employees are considered resilient, leaving 70% of employees considered vulnerable.
