Developing resilient employees not only benefits them as individuals, but it benefits their families, the communities they serve, and it benefits your business.
Research shows that resilient people are more motivated, productive, and efficient at their jobs. Resilience improves workers’ perception of and ability to cope with stress, they are less susceptible to burnout, and they are healthier resulting in decreased absenteeism, family-related crises, presenteeism, and health care costs.
Social support has also consistently been shown to help buffer against the negative effects of stress and anxiety; and facilitated discussions on mindfulness, reflection, and shared experiences have been found to increase empowerment and engagement, while decreasing burnout, depersonalization, and emotional exhaustion.
