It shouldn’t come as a surprise that U.S. organizations are facing an employee engagement crisis. However, what many managers don’t realize is that a significant portion of the workforce view their job as the number-one cause of stress in their lives. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly a quarter of employees feel an unhealthy level of stress stemming from their jobs, mainly due to the idea that employees must be constantly connected to keep up with the ever-increasing pace and intensity of the modern workplace. These employees lack resilience, and are quickly overwhelmed. This can lead to burnout and turnover. To build resilience in a team, it’s important that team members are challenged, but supported. Research shows that resilience is built by behaviors and support structures. Factors that instill resilience are optimism, the ability to manage strong emotions, and a sense of security. By helping employees embody these traits, managers can build more a resilient workforce.
