The Path to Recovery: Pandemic Fatigue and the Resilience Imperative
Original Air Date: 2/16/2021
If 2020 were a box, we probably wouldn’t have opened it. Littered with crisis after crisis – the chronic disappointment and emotional exhaustion caused by a reality in turmoil. This global threat to our wellbeing and economy is what the World Health Organization has recently coined as “pandemic fatigue.”
Businesses are seeing the negative effects of a worn-down workforce – from women forced to leave their jobs due to the childcare crisis to unplanned absences from increasing COVID cases. With a new level of complexity in planning for the wellbeing needs of your business, simply waiting for a vaccine to bring back what we once knew as normal is not enough.
The workforce is the lifeblood of any organization, and it is under tremendous stress. This has resulted in a resilience imperative: Does your organization have what it needs to begin picking up these broken pieces and put them back together?
Hear from Dr. Andrew Shatté, psychologist and organizational resilience expert, as he clearly connects the role of resilience to pandemic fatigue -- because the only way out is through.
