Background
This interactive virtual workshop is a follow-up to last year’s “Building Team and Organizational Resilience”. Since the onset of the pandemic, organizations across sectors have been under heightened and sustained levels of engagement, with workforce implications for retention, recruitment, and sustainable performance. Together we will explore evidence-informed strategies and best practices for formal and informal leadership, teams, and organizational systems to build a culture of resilience. Interventions will include building trust, meaningful recognition in the workplace, and the targeted application of psychological first aid in hybrid, remote, and in-person environments to mitigate stress and distress.
Target Audience
Mental health, hospital, public health workers, or anyone likely to become involved in the disaster response in their communities.
