Knowledge Knibbles: Building resilience

In these challenging times, resilience is a key skill and attribute for people, and many organisations are now focusing on how to build this capability in their staff. The tools of resilience draw heavily on the Positive Psychology literature and is well grounded in an evidence base.

IES has put together a programme that covers the key issues that are currently recognised in building resilience and present it as both as a day long workshop in which people work through their own situation and also as a 90-minute Knowledge Knibble in which people are introduced to the key concepts.
