Resilience - what for?

Resilience, the inner resistance or the immune system of the psyche, is today an essential key competence and a valuable companion. Our goal is to promote resilient behaviour in dealing with demanding situations and to support companies and organisations in building a resilient organisational culture.

 

Satisfaction in the work environment

Today's working world is characterised by constant efficiency improvements, constant change and a lack of stability. In order to survive well and stay healthy as an organisation in the long term, innovation and creativity are just as important as effective and efficient implementation. In resilient companies, employees are capable of implementing the principle of "as well as good":

 

  • External control and personal responsibility

  • Change competence and stability

  • Effectiveness requirements and composure

 

Today's balancing act

At the individual level it is also important to maintain a balance between success in professional life and the shaping of private interests and obligations. Thanks to well-developed resilience, the ability to act is maintained even in times of constant change.

Origins

Resilience was originally used in the context of materials science and describes the ability of a material after elastic deformation to return to its original shape.

 

Linguistic origin

The word resilience comes from the Latin "resilire" and means "to jump back" or "to rebound". The English word resilience also includes the ability to change (survival and adaptability) which is very important for our zeitgeist. For example, a "resilient ecosystem" not only survives, but adapts relatively quickly to new circumstances (conditions / occurrences).
