Report highlights key measures to building a resilient workforce

Independent research commissioned by RS Components (RS) has shown that, by building resilience among their staff, senior engineers can often make fast and cost-effective improvements to their business’ overall resilience.

The third report in the company's Resilience Index series, The Resilience Index: People -How a focus on people can strengthen resilience quickly and cost-effectively - identifies five key practical actions that senior engineers should consider taking to build resilience across their team and drive forward the overall resilience of their business.

According to RS these actions will help companies both recruit and train the right people to support their aims but  also help underpin a company’s behavioural resilience by prioritising safety, skills, and capabilities.

Tackle the training deficit. Continuous upskilling of people will help to maximise operational efficiency and minimise losses but is also necessary due to the number of unfilled vacancies.
