How can organizations ensure resilience training does not place the burden solely on individuals?

• A. Provide organizational supports (staffing, policies) along with resilience training to create a supportive system.
• B. Provide only resilience training to individuals.
• C. Increase individual workload.
• D. Remove all policies.

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that resilience training works best when it’s embedded in a supportive system, not treated as instruction for individuals to shoulder alone. Providing organizational supports—such as adequate staffing, sensible policies, protected time for training and reflection, access to mental health resources, and a culture that encourages seeking help—shares responsibility for well-being and creates the environment in which resilience skills can actually be used. This systemic approach reduces the burden on any single person and addresses real workplace stressors that can undermine resilience, like unbearable workloads and unclear expectations. If you only offer resilience training to individuals, you’re asking people to cope with a stressful system on top of learning skills, which often isn’t enough to prevent burnout. Increasing workload or removing policies would only worsen stress and erode the support structure that makes resilience sustainable.
