Most organizations tell their employees to be resilient, but how many actually put in the work to create an environment that fosters it? Dr. Shanna Tiayon highlights that only 15% of organizations are genuinely resilient, meaning that the structures necessary to support employees through challenging times are often nonexistent. Instead of throwing more training at employees, companies need to rethink their foundations and provide true support systems.
Understanding resilience as four key capacities—anticipatory, preparatory, responsive, and recovery—can lead to a healthier workplace culture. It’s not just about surviving the next crisis; it’s about preparing for it beforehand. By investing in well-being measures and clarity, organizations can ensure that their employees don’t just endure stress but thrive despite it. After all, isn’t it better to prevent the storm before it brews?
