Resilience Resources
for Organizations
These resources are intended to guide organizations in activities to increase resilience in their workforce. These tools are organized into the same four areas included in the resilience assessment: Organizational Practices, Leadership Qualities, Workplace Culture, and Workforce Temperature. If your organization scores lower on one of these areas of the assessment, you can use the associated tools to address that area.
Leadership Qualities
Leadership guides and motivates people to do their best work and reach the organization’s goals. Good leaders ensure everyone knows the vision, listen to their team, and give clear directions. They support their team, help make tough decisions, and ensure people have the necessary information and resources. Leaders also encourage growth by recognizing strengths, empowering employees to make decisions, and creating an environment where people feel valued and inspired to do their best.

Organizational Practices
Organizational practices are the everyday ways an organization runs and how it handles things like decision-making, teamwork, and problem-solving. These practices help keep everything on track by making sure everyone knows their role, communicates well, and can adapt when things don’t go as planned. It’s about making sure the organization stays focused on what’s important, gives employees chances to grow, and quickly makes decisions when needed. Good organizational practices help the organization run smoothly and keep everyone working together toward common goals.
Workforce Temperature
Workforce temperature is a measure of the overall mood, engagement, and well-being of employees within an organization at a specific point in time. It reflects factors such as job satisfaction, morale, and stress levels, providing insight into employee sentiment and organizational health.
Resources
Workplace Culture
Workplace culture is the values, behaviors, and attitudes that shape the work environment. A positive culture means that employees are open to learning from mistakes, communicate well, and work together as a team. In a positive culture, employees feel valued, take ownership of their work, and are motivated to do their best.
