Building resilience: Thriving amidst workplace stress

The session is at 2 pm BST/ 6:30 pm IST.

Today’s workplace is filled with a variety of stressors and uncertainties like never before – over or under communication and collaboration, blurred boundaries, and tight deadlines. For years, work has been the number one stressor in people’s lives across the globe. It has continued its upward trajectory since the last decade, especially reaching its peak since the pandemic and leading to employee burnout (Gallup, 2023).

Despite this, some people flourish and successfully beat the stress at work. How do they do that?

Resilience.

Resilience is one of the key strategies to tackle workplace stress and navigate through work and life challenges. It is the ability to bounce back, and face adversities head-on with a growth mindset and problem-solving approach. Resilience can help you, your team and your organisation achieve high performance at work. Understanding what resilience is and how you can foster it within yourself, and your team can help you become more adaptable, confident, and competent. Since it is a set of attitudes, behaviours, and social supports, anyone can learn to become more resilient.
