Organisational Resilience

Background

While resilience is often thought of as an individual trait, at organisation level it is possible to build a culture of resilience, which manifests as an ability to perform more effectively under pressure and 'bounce back' from adversity. Organisational resilience is about a culture that enables the organisation to 'weather the storm' and individuals to survive and thrive in adversity.

Our services

Our organisational resilience services include:

• We help leadership teams to manage risk through effective measurement and assessment of resilience and engagement levels.
• We provide expert consultancy and online diagnostics to programme teams looking to develop effective resilience programmes.
• We also offer a wide range of awareness talks to help employees understand and manage the causes of stress and burnout.

Background

In any resilience project, it is critical to know where your organisation's strengths & weaknesses are and what the main risk factors are in order to target interventions effectively.

LPP Consulting use a cutting edge risk management tool called Organisation Human Factor Benchmark (OHFB), which allows you to benchmark your company's risks of stress and burnout against established organisational benchmarks.

The OHFB is supported by a predictive model that allows for the proactive management of risks for employees, teams and areas of operations.

OHFB Benefits

OHFB will enable you to:

• Benchmark your employee and organisational factors against the South African and industry (if available) norm.
• Report on the incidence of experiences on the different Organisational Human Factor Benchmark dimensions in the organisation.
• Provide the main drivers of employee outcomes as well as the impact level of these drivers on employee outcomes.
• Recommend key performance indicators on certain employee and organisational factors.
• Provide generic intervention guidelines to address risk drivers.

Background

Once an organisational assessment has been completed, we help senior management teams understand and proactively manage the risk of burnout, stress and disengagement across their organisation. At the other end of the spectrum we help leaders understand their main organisational strengths in terms of what is contributing to areas of strong engagement.

Our objective is always to give people access to practical, evidence-based skills which help build resilient, engaged workplaces which are able to respond effectively to pressure and change.

Our Services

• We help leadership teams to understand and manage their risks, by identifying who is in need of help, and what kind of support may be required.
• We consult to occupational health or wellbeing teams who are looking for expert input to the design of their programmes.
• We help raise awareness of the damage that workplace stress, distraction and disengagement can do, through a range of awareness talks which help employees understand and manage the causes of stress and burnout.
• We provide advice about incorporating resilience development modules within selection and induction processes and leadership development programmes.
