How Can Resilience Be Built Into An Organization - WalkWater Talent Advisors

COVID-19 has changed the scenario of the entire world. The pace of change is at it peak; and living in this rapidly changing world brings lots of challenges for us. Businesses have gone down too, trying to cope up with the transformations. And this is why, organizations are now looking for employees that are resilient.


There was a time when the focus was mainly on education, qualifications, degrees, experience, and technical skills. But no more! Now, the focus has shifted more to behavioural capabilities, with learning strategies, emotional intelligence, and complex skills gaining more importance. That’s because these qualities indicate resilience even under changing circumstances. To be able to get back to normal, thinking differently and learning are very important. And, this is why resilience becomes a key requirement for organizations today.

So how can you bring in resilient employees into your organization? It’s talent management that can help. Talent management can create the right ecosystem to build resilient talent and organizations. Being realistic, having a purpose, and being positive – when this is built across the organization, it can contribute towards building a resilient organization. Here’s how resilience can be brought into Talent Acquisition and Talent Development.

Talent Acquisition

  • New methods of recruitment and selection should now be considered. The candidates should be checked for strengths and interests, rather than only their technical and functional skills. In addition, an aptitude to learn is also important. 
  • Different backgrounds and different resume sources should be explored. After all, having diverse team members within an organization increases the diversity of thought, which means diverse ideas coming in when required.
  • The current team’s strengths and style of working should be analysed, based on which the type of talent to be hired should be decided upon so as to build a better team. Thus, there’ll be required some amount of customization when hiring for similar positions in different teams or different contexts.

Talent Development

  • Practices and processes that will keep the organization functioning even under tremendous pressure should be built.
  • The right ecosystem must be crafted to help talent become more resilient, and also continue to stay resilient.
  • Resilience development opportunities should be provided to leadership, budding leaders, and talent.

What all can organizations do?

If one can relate to a clear purpose and see that the value of change is greater than the investment required, then the motivation to make the change can come about better. Keeping this in mind, here’s all that an organization can and must do, in order to built resilience into organization practices.

  • Providing safe learning environments and spaces where people can fail as well as learn quickly.
  • Building and sustaining a learning culture
  • Providing opportunities for people to build new competencies to showcase themselves
  • Facilitating change management programs to help people cope with the changes and changed environment
