HR Forum Webinar – Building Emotional Resilience in Uncertain Times
We are currently experiencing what appears to be the perfect storm of uncertainty and involuntary change. Understanding how to access and build on our emotional resilience is a vital in ensuring that we stay resourceful and well as we adapt to the current situation, support employees and develop our businesses after it has passed.
It is already well known and documented that people struggle with change. We find it hard to sustain and embed change even when it is of our own choosing. It’s even harder for us to handle change when it results from situations that are out of our control. When a high level of uncertainty accompanies any involuntary change, it can easily become too much to manage and impact on our cognitive ability as well as our mental and physical wellbeing
Being able to spot where an emotional response to this level of uncertainty is creating a problem, in ourselves and in others, and knowing how to build emotional resilience can be the difference between surviving and thriving through times of upheaval.
