Building Resilience in your Business

Building resilience for us humans is as much about working on the psychological than the physical part of ourselves. In other words, it means building resilience within the mind and within the body. The two cannot be dissociated. They are part of our whole.

In business, building resilience revolves around two aspects.

The first one is building the resilience of every employee by helping them build and develop their self-esteem. There is a duty of care on the part of the employer towards the employees. Building resilience within its employees should be a focus for management and the leadership. Too often the employee is seen as a fixed asset rather than a continuously evolving person interacting with his or her environment.

The second one is building robust processes and plans to deal with adverse external forces. Forces that can be competitive forces, environmental forces, legislation changes, even internal forces.

Ultimately, building resilience in a business comes down to creating, encouraging and developing resilience and agility in the mind of your employees and in the body of the business itself ( its processes and plans).
