Implication
Systematic review demonstrates improved mental health and resilience in employees receiving workplace training, suggesting benefits for well-being despite varied program designs.
Key Points
- Synthesize empirical evidence regarding the efficacy of work-based resilience training interventions on employee resilience, well-being, psychosocial functioning, and performance.
- Conducted a systematic review of 14 studies published between 2003 and 2014 evaluating workplace resilience interventions.
- Evaluated outcomes spanning personal resilience, mental health and subjective well-being, psychosocial metrics, physical or biological markers, and work performance.
- Resilience training consistently improved personal resilience and demonstrated a large positive effect on mental health and subjective well-being outcomes.
- Interventions produced broader secondary benefits, including enhanced psychosocial functioning and improved employee performance.
- Lack of design and implementation coherence across studies prevented definitive conclusions regarding optimal training format or content, though most programs utilized a cognitive-behavioural framework.
