Resilience Training for the Workplace

Resilience does not mean being immune to stress or sadness, rather it is about coping and ‘bouncing back’ from challenges and setbacks. Simplistic resilience thinking could assume that healthy people are like rubber bands. Like rubber bands, people come in different sizes and are subjected to different challenges. They also have different thickness and abilities to stretch shorter or longer.

Resilience is not a fixed trait within a person, it is a combination of attitudes, skills and behaviours that can be learned and developed. This means everyone can develop their resilience and, by extension, increase their sense of well-being and satisfaction with life.

What is Resilience Training

If we look at a definition of resilience in the context of work.


‘The capacity to manage the everyday stress of work and remain healthy, rebound and learn from unexpected setbacks and prepare for future challenges proactively’

- Kathryn McEwen

Resilience training has been shown to:
