ABSTRACT

This chapter examines the characteristics of resilience training that seem to enhance effectiveness. Research on resilience training in the workplace has provided evidence that resilience training can be effective in modifying resilience. Robertson and colleagues conducted a review of resilience training interventions implemented in workplaces. Indeed, resilience interventions have yielded adaptive changes in wellbeing and performance. In terms of the impact of resilience training on performance, six out of the fourteen studies identified by Robertson and colleagues examined performance outcomes. Indeed, resilience interventions have yielded adaptive changes in wellbeing and performance. When examining the effectiveness of resilience training at work, typically researchers are interested in the impact training has on wellbeing and performance. Robertson and colleagues found that resilience training has a number of wider benefits that include enhanced psychosocial functioning and improved performance. Interestingly, resilience training has had mixed effects on productivity.
