FAQs

What is team resilience in the workplace?

Resilient teams have the ability to cope with, and adapt to, adversity, challenges, and stressors effectively. It involves developing and strengthening psychological, emotional, and cognitive skills necessary to bounce back (and even thrive) when faced with challenging situations.

While individual resilience is important, focusing on team resilience in the workplace acknowledges the collective nature of work. It allows for greater support, collaboration, and adaptability, leading to improved overall performance and wellbeing.

Our training is suitable for departments and line managers that may seek to boost resilience within their teams by giving individuals the skills they need.

 

What techniques or evidence base has this course been developed from?

Our mental health at work courses are developed from a combination of techniques and evidence-based practices from various fields such as psychology, neuroscience, and organisational behaviour.

The British Red Cross approach mental health at work training by utilising their globally recognised CALMER psychosocial framework which was adopted across all our services in 2008.

In addition, the evidence base supporting the effectiveness of resilience training courses comes from a combination of empirical studies, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews. These studies evaluate the impact of specific techniques used in resilience training on stress reduction, improved wellbeing, increased coping skills, and enhanced performance. The research literature in this field continues to expand, providing valuable insights into the effectiveness and benefits of resilience training.
