In a time of constant global change and the trend towards intensification of work, today’s employees are facing increasing work pressures or stressors, such as excessive work demands or demanding working conditions in different professional environments. In the light of these challenges, adverse conditions can not only affect employees’ performance, but can also seriously compromise their mental health and well-being. Due to the increasing demands in organisational environments and the importance of resilience, more and more emphasis is being placed on training programmes for employee resilience to stressors. This training provides insights into the importance and approaches to designing such a training programme.
The training aims to:
- knowledge of training programmes to improve employees’ resilience to stress.
- Understanding the factors that influence employees’ resilience to stress.
- Understanding the concepts and theories of psychosocial stress resilience training for employees.
- Learn how to identify the target group of employees most exposed to stress.
- Understanding the (main) outcomes of training for resilience in organisations.
