Why Resilience is Important to him
John:”Supporting employees in developing resilience is not optional but essential. The challenges employees now face are different than those in the twentieth century. But no matter what life throws at you, resilience acts as a safeguard and enables you to take on an uncertain future, overcome setbacks, eventually triumph and take control of your own destiny.”
