Report: The Rising Resilient Report

Data collected during March 2020 by Aon, amidst the Coronavirus pandemic, found that businesses that empower their staff through social connections, a supportive work environment and strong professional development programmes are better placed to deliver strong wellbeing strategies.

The figures from over 2,000 participants across Europe identify that it is not enough to ask individuals to be resilient; businesses need to create the culture of resilience across their organisation.

Key findings
• Over one-third (37%) of employers chose to invest in health and wellbeing strategies to support productivity and motivation.
• However, despite the majority (80%) of employers seeing the benefits of health and wellbeing initiatives, the report found that this does not have a significant impact on creating a resilient workforce.
• Additionally, only 15% of employees are resilient at organisations that offer no health and wellbeing programmes, just under a third (29%) are resilient if a partial health and wellbeing strategy is introduced, while 45% of staff are resilient if they are offered a broad health and wellbeing programme.
