Building Resilient Managers in Humanitarian Organisations Research - Now free to download

In times of increasing economic pressure and a culture of 'doing more with less', the topic of staff resilience is more relevant than ever. It often seems that our understanding of resilience in relation to humanitarian workers lacks the depth and nuance it deserves, and is increasingly becoming divorced from an organisational context. We are pleased to now be able to offer this downloadable research on the topic free of charge.

The report

  • Undertakes an initial exploration of the personal skills and strengths, and organisational structures and practices, which can promote resilience in managers working for international humanitarian organisations.
  • Suggests a useful working definition of resilience
  • Identifies key indicators of resilience for managers in humanitarian organizations
  • Identifies key points of influence – organisational structures and practices that can strengthen resilience in managers in humanitarian organisations
  • Offers practical suggestions for ways that humanitarian organizations can help increase the resilience of their middle managers.

Thank you for making this report free to the public. This is a a very important topic, that doesn't get enough attention or reasearch. Making the report available free of charge really helps smaller non-profits and organizations to learn more about the imporance of resiliency and ways they can support their staff.
THANK YOU!
