As the workplace continues to evolve at an ever-increasing pace, organizations find themselves facing changes in their industries, technologies, and customer demands. To succeed in this turbulent environment, leaders are demanding greater resilience from their employees. But traditional approaches of “just endure” resilience have their limits. O.C. Tanner research has found that over half of employees say they are expected to just push through challenges without complaint, which leads to a 125% increased likelihood of burnout.

How can organizations create a culture of resiliency that is nimble, proactive, and people-centered? How can we shift our mindset from seeing change and challenges as setbacks to overcome to viewing them as opportunities to innovate, evolve, and improve?

New research from the 2024 Global Culture Report reveals a framework of nimble resiliency that empowers organizations, leaders, and employees to embrace change, foster collaboration, and leverage cross-disciplinary thinking.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • The 3 principles central to creating a nimbly resilient culture that thrives in a dynamic work environment
  • People-centered strategies for amplifying change in the workplace
  • Practices for championing leaders to help employees navigate change and proactively tackle challenges
