Organizational resilience is defined by a business, program, or service provider’s ability to be adaptable, flexible, and proactive. It is necessary for leadership in organizations to create a culture that embraces the inevitable change of shifting priorities and market forces. Mind resilience helps establish this mindset by engaging employees in ways they feel valued, and putting their best talents to work. By maximizing and enhancing the skills of staff, who are an organization’s biggest resource, a business becomes invested in the well being of its workforce which in turn results in greater retention, productivity, and a positive environment to conduct business. Organizations, like individuals, are successful when they are resilient, resourceful, and interdependent.
