The resilient workplace (DAA004)
Develop individual and organisational resilience
This course is also available as part of a cost-saving course bundle.
This five-hour online course explores how individual and organisational resilience can be understood and developed, in order to support workplace wellbeing and facilitate more effective teamwork – particularly in times of stress or change.
Combining key theoretical ideas with practical examples and guidance, the course can be started at any time and provides a clear and accessible framework for understanding organisational mental health. You’ll be supported to develop your own capacity for reflection and resilience and receive practical guidance on challenging group dynamics.
This course is part of our Working towards wellbeing bundle, developed under the expert guidance of organisational consultants in the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, to promote mental health and wellbeing in the workplace.
Drawing on the key principles of systems-psychodynamic thinking, each course delivers rich and in-depth learning experiences, with a clear, practical focus on the most pressing challenges and development needs facing organisations today.
Aims and learning objectives
This online course will allow you to:
- understand what resilience means – not just for individuals, but also for teams and organisations
- recognise and develop your own capacity for resilience, and learn how to support the development of resilience within your team
- examine barriers to organisational resilience – with reference to three key theoretical perspectives and a ‘whole-system’ approach
- observe your contribution to team dynamics and understand how these can impact on your own and others’ wellbeing
- recognise what happens when relationships ‘go wrong’, including how to understand bullying in the workplace
You will learn by:
- exploring key concepts through interactive lecture content and videos
- deepening your understanding via regular opportunities for reflection
- applying the theory to real life via a scenario-based ‘checklist’ activity
- recording your progress against clear learning objectives
