Deloitte research shows that 74% percent of organisations say that retraining their staff is important or very important for their success in the next twelve to eighteen months, but only ten percent of organisations say they are actually ready to proactively train their employees. This study also shows that resilient organizations have a much greater chance of surviving successfully when unexpected developments (such as a Covid pandemic) occur.
Resilience is a broad term, but in short, resilience is the ability to recover from stress or adversity. In this blog, we not only focus on recovering from stress or adversity, but also on proactively preparing employees for any new developments within organisations.
Organisations can face all kinds of (unexpected) developments. For example, fluctuating stock prices, mergers, technological developments (AI), austerity, etc. The organisation itself has control over some things, but not over others. We can foresee some things coming, others (such as the Covid pandemic) not. That is why it is important for organizations to always be aware of their own resilience and to continuously work hard on this.
Resilient employees know how to adapt to difficult situations and unexpected twists. They don't see changes as obstacles, but as opportunities to think creatively and come up with smart solutions. In addition, they are strong in communicating with each other, so they stay calm even in stressful situations and try to avoid conflicts. Thanks to their targeted approach, they are not only more productive, but they also help their organisation stay resilient and be able to respond quickly to changes.
The training, upskilling and retraining of employees plays an important role here.
Leadership plays an important role in promoting resilience within an organisation. Through clear communication, empathy, and engagement, managers can create a work environment where employees feel supported. Understanding individual needs and offering flexibility strengthens employee trust and loyalty.
It is also important to regularly feedback to ask employees. What do they think of their resilience, and the resilience of the organisation as a whole, as a whole? By listening to the experiences and suggestions of employees, organizations can adapt and improve their approach. With Pluvo's various testing and testing options, you can make this process both informative and interactive.
Flexibility within the organisation, such as hybrid working, flexible working hours and the ability to take breaks when necessary, can significantly increase employee resilience. By giving employees the autonomy to organise their work in a way that suits them best, they can better deal with stressful situations and create a healthy work-life balance.
It stimulating personal development employees can also strengthen resilience through training, workshops and coaching. By giving employees the opportunity to learn new skills and develop themselves, they increase their self-confidence and resilience. Investing in employee growth exudes appreciation and trust, which increases employee engagement and motivation.
In many ways, e-learning contributes to increasing the resilience of employees within organisations. Let's mention a few examples:
E-learning offers a platform for virtual communication, resolving conflicts and exchanging ideas, for example via video calls where team members share their views and discuss important topics. In addition, online forums and chat groups can be used to ensure continuity in communication and create a sense of connection, even from a distance.
E-learning modules can train team members in new skills and technologies that are needed to adapt to changing circumstances. For example, during an online training session, team members can learn how to use various tools and software to collaborate more efficiently remotely.
Interactive simulations and case studies can also be used to help team members anticipate and respond to different scenarios, increasing their flexibility and adaptability.
Through e-learning, teams can simulate and evaluate real-world scenarios to test their response to potential challenges. For example, an e-learning module may include a virtual crisis exercise where team members must work together to resolve an emergency situation and minimise the impact on the organisation.
Feedback mechanisms can be integrated to help team members evaluate their performance and identify areas for improvement, allowing them to work proactively to strengthen their resilience.
