Here are two new tools that can help:
- Our Guide to Organizational Resilience
- The second video in our 3-part series: Resilience
Online guide to organizational resilience
While business resilience consists of many parts, individual resilience plays a large role. Our Guide to Organizational Resilience focuses on that role: resilience through the lens of organizational and employee health.
A key fact about resilience is that it’s not static. We can all learn, train and further develop it. Whether we are naturally resilient or not, we can build our resilience over time.
This online guide highlights the five attributes that many psychologists view as being foundational for building resilience. It sets out the actions employers can take to support employee resilience. It also highlights the Sun Life resources that support each of the five attributes.
Building resilience – video
Our video series on mental health provides tips and highlights resources that can help employers improve workplace mental health.
We’re pleased to release our second video, with a focus on resilience and how to build it. The video highlights some habits that can help people build their resilience. This includes focussing on what we can control – not what we can’t. For many, all it takes is a small shift in habits and mindset. You can watch the resilience video here.
We released our first video on October 10. If you haven’t already, you can watch the inclusive language video here. It focuses on the importance of inclusive language to create psychologically safe workplaces. We’ll be releasing the third and final video in this series in the weeks ahead.
Share these new tools
We encourage you to share the resilience guide and video with your network. Here is the Focus Update we’re sending to Clients. It also includes a link to the guide and video.
We understand that fostering resilience is one small way we can help Canadians overcome difficulties and setbacks. By highlighting to employees how strong they really are, it will help them:
- tap into the skills they have, and
- build new ones.
We remain committed to helping you support Clients in making tangible positive change on mental health. Our free resources, like our Guide to Organizational Resilience and video series, can help with next steps.
