Recent challenges, such as decreased reimbursement, inflation, compassion fatigue, longer work hours, and other stresses, have increasingly exposed organizations to conditions threatening their survival. Studies show how resilience at the individual and organizational levels can affect the success of organizations. This course will share evidence of effective organizational and individual strategies to promote greater strength and outcomes for everyone. Moving an organization toward resilience can improve worker morale, support leadership, and meet the fiscal requirements for running a successful organization with today’s “do more with less” mentality. Strategies will also be shared to help individuals remain happy and engaged with their jobs and personal lives. Resilience does not remove stress, but it helps us recover to experience personal and professional growth.
