Ideal for managers, HR professionals, and occupational psychologists seeking to enhance workplace resilience and performance. Also valuable for students and researchers in organisational and occupational psychology.

In an era of longer hours and shorter contracts, of tighter margins and frequent organizational change, stress can undermine both the mental health and performance of employees. A culture of resilience in the workplace, however, offers the potential to support psychological well-being and improve the performance of both people and organizations.
