Many challenges can arise in an employee’s life that will test their resilience. These include workplace stress and adversity, financial difficulties, relationship problems and health issues. Poor resilience on an individual employee level can weaken overall business resilience. Productivity can decline, absence and associated costs can increase and the retention of valuable employees can suffer. Poor resilience on an individual has compounding effects on respect in the workplace. Resilience in the workplace cannot be fostered without a solid foundation of respect for one another. They go hand in hand.
There are many solutions that can help. Resilience isn’t static – and all employees can learn, training and further develop it. Whether someone is naturally resilient or not, they can build their resilience over time. Resiliency truly is a muscle that people can use and grow.
Diversity, inclusion and belonging, when embedded effectively, ties into leadership and management seamlessly. It isn’t a program, but a shift in how organizations operate. It’s accepting that things like privilege and bias exist and many of us bring those things to work with us every day, sometimes with little awareness that they’re happening. We don’t know what we don’t know, and it’s simplistic to think we can fix things quickly with little effort. Our focus is better served through discussions around inclusion and how to “get familiar with the unfamiliar.”
It is important to remember that diversity is a fact, inclusion is a choice. You can have diversity and not have inclusion. When you focus only on diversity but fail to help your diverse team feel included, your team may not feel valued – in that case, you’ve just collected a lot of different people who are in the room or in the company together.
