Resilience refers to an individual’s ability to recover, adapt and grow personally despite stressful life events, stressors or challenges. It encompasses the ability to cope with difficult situations, maintain emotional stability and emerge stronger from setbacks or crises. Resilient individuals have a range of coping strategies and resources, such as self-efficacy, optimism, social support, flexibility, problem-solving skills and the ability to learn from experience. Resilience is a dynamic process that is shaped by personal characteristics, environmental factors and experiences and can be strengthened through targeted interventions and training sessions. In a professional context, promoting resilience helps to increase the resilience, performance and job satisfaction of employees and can help to reduce mental health problems such as stress, anxiety and burnout.
