Here's how you can cultivate resilience in Sustainability amidst challenges.

For most people, change is not inside their comfort zone. If corporate change is needed, it may come to resistance. For this, companies may want to work with change agents, employees who understand the need for change. The can work as communicators, convincing their colleagues that the change is not only good for the company, but also a benefit for each employee. For example, making work more interesting and / or easier. Besides that contact with new processes and technologies fosters the CV.

Based on my experience I would say that you have to develop proactive and strategic approach to build your resilience. It means that you should not just wait for the challenge to appear, instead you should build a flexible system to be able to adapt to the circumstances but at the same time to build a company's culture based on innovation.

When entering the company, most employees are highly motivated, including for learning; especially when coming from university. It is up to the organization to keep up this good spirit, so that new employees keep this habit. For example, continuous learning should be a part of their individual annual bonus.

Continuous learning is indeed the backbone of resilient sustainability. Sustainability is constantly changing and new trends are emerging. By participating in workshops, getting involved in networks and following the latest sustainability news, you can stay on the ball. Personally, I subscribe to several specialist newsletters, am actively involved in networks and regularly exchange ideas with colleagues in the industry. These measures keep me up to date and promote the exchange of ideas and best practices.

Building a strong network is a key component of resilience. Connect with like-minded people, organisations and communities who share your commitment to sustainability. These connections provide support, inspiration and resources that can help you overcome challenges that others have already overcome. Networking allows for the sharing of best practices and sustainability is a collective effort, and support from the network makes all the difference. Personally, I am actively involved in various regional and international expert networks and regularly participate in relevant events. This provides valuable opportunities to share knowledge, gain new perspectives and develop innovative solutions to common challenges.

In my experience, making sure wellness education is part of a company's culture can help team members relax, take care of themselves better, and share a vocabulary about wellness that may assist in better communication and understanding between team members and customers and clients. This is essential for sustainability.

Absolutely, perseverance is perhaps the most important aspect of cultivating resilience in sustainability. Challenges and setbacks are inevitable, but it's the ability to keep going that determines impact. Stay committed to your principles and keep working towards a sustainable future, even when progress seems slow. Perseverance is critical to achieving our goals and intermediate objectives. It requires a relentless drive that can inspire not only ourselves but others to work towards a more resilient and sustainable society. It is equally important to regularly validate and prioritise whether you are still on the right track. This iterative process ensures that we remain flexible and can achieve more effective results.
