Building Team and Personal Resilience Courses
When you think of resilience, the 'bounce back' from disaster comes to mind. There is another kind of resilience, though – can you be resilient to the uncertainty and constant change which we so frequently have to deal with? The ‘slow burn’ which requires the maintenance of energy and performance over an extended period?
Understanding resilience is important because it allows us to take specific steps towards developing individuals and teams capable of adapting to challenges and sustaining performance over time.
You wouldn’t be alone if you thought a team of resilient individuals automatically made a resilient team, but this isn’t the case. Individual resilience is how one person can perform well even through difficult times. Team resilience is how a group of people learn to pull together and lean on one another to keep the team going through difficult times.
To help employees better deal with the challenges ahead, Employee Development are offering these three solutions:

A course for managers/supervisors who wish to learn how to build their team's resilience.
• Building and strengthening positive relationships
• Developing a learning environment
• Clarifying purpose and identity
• Tools to create trust and psychological safety
Team Development Day
Six dates have been set aside for team development days. A team leader might consider booking one of these for their team.(First come, first served!)
The whole team (including leader) usually participates. They will identify their strengths and will be helped to be honest and constructive about anything that might be limiting their capacity and performance. They will explore working relationships and communications, particularly how (or if) help and feedback are provided and received. While interpersonal behaviours are usually the main focus, there is also scope for examining goals, roles, processes, procedures… and leadership.
