From the Mental Health Foundation

This Emotional Resilience Toolkit provides practical guidance in promoting the resilience of individuals and teams in companies as part of an integrated health and wellbeing programme.

This Toolkit includes research, case studies and suggested actions which employers can take to facilitate emotional resilience in the workplace, including:

  1. Providing a pleasant physical working environment (e.g. good lighting, ergonomic seating, etc);
  2. Promoting healthy behaviour in the workplace (e.g. healthy eating, physical activity);
  3. Providing training for employees and managers to recognise and take early action to ameliorate conditions that can produce stress;
  4. Providing opportunities for ‘good work’ – i.e. characterised by employment security, task variety, autonomy, fair treatment and reward for effort, strong workplace relationships and effective development and use of skills (Coats and Lehki, 2008);
  5. Providing support for employees with mental health problems (and other related health issues)
