Resilience training is relatively new to the UK although it is well established in the United States . It has traditionally been used in the US by organisations facing a period of change or ‘re-engineering’ to prepare mainly managers but in some cases staff as well, for the challenges they are about to face. However because businesses must react with speed and flexibility in today’s constantly changing environment, this type of training is no longer reserved for what used to be regarded as exceptional circumstances, it is required on a regular basis.
