This is a comprehensive reference volume addressing every aspect of wellbeing at work, including the chapter on resilience, The resilient person and organization, written by Jill Flint-Taylor and Alex Davda.
The authors look at how individual resilience changes over the lifespan, and what this means for the design of effective resilience-building interventions in the organizational context.
They discuss some of the main findings relating to research into resilience at the level of teams, departments and other organizational groups.
They explain how resilience of teams and other groups is much more than the sum of the personal resilience of individual group members.
