Traumatic events will continue to occur in the form of global pandemics, climate events, and economic or political changes. Mental health worldwide is worsening, and we do not have the leeway to let it decline further. Resiliency in the face of a challenge is a must. As we spend 8-plus hours a day at work, work environments have a responsibility to provide what they can to contribute to employee well-being and flourishing. We wanted to examine what, specifically in the context of work, can help us be resilient in the face of a challenge, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
Learning Objectives
After attending this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Discuss the connections between safety, community, and flourishing in the workplace.
- Describe the relationship between financial control and flourishing.
- Explain how flourishing builds resilience, so is protective during challenging times.
