HSL is to run a 1 day course on Resilience: Optimising performance through workforce and organisational resilience - Seminar.

8th October 2013

Finding ways of enabling organisations and their workforce to remain productive in difficult times is crucial. Equipping your workforce with the skills that allow them to thrive in challenging circumstances will enable sustainable productivity.

Delivered by HSL experts, this workshop aims to cover various aspects of health and resilience at work (physical, psychological and social aspects, traditional (health and safety management systems) as well as newer approaches (behaviour change applications, nudge and mindfulness, etc) to enhance organisational and individual resilience.

This event is founded upon extensive research and collaborative international projects carried out by HSL. Working as both researchers and consultants, HSL's psychologists have turned current theory and knowledge on the topics of health and resilience into practical techniques that can be implemented in the workplace. It differs from other approaches to this topic by demonstrating how psychological principles and approaches can be incorporated into the wider health and safety management system.  This will help ensure an integrated, and therefore more effective approach to employee and organisational resilience.
