Description

Organizational Behavior focuses on the need for resiliency to be embedded in the culture and systems of the organization. A resilient organization has documented resiliency objectives that align and support the organization’s strategic goals so that it is able to achieve its core objectives in the face of adversity.

The cornerstone of organizational resilience relies on a well managed system of checks and balances within a program focused on organizational resilience to prioritize and coordinate the individual initiatives that comprise the resiliency program.

A resilient organization encourages professional development of its members and measures its progress towards meeting stated resiliency objectives.

A resilient organization supports its resiliency objectives by providing necessary resources, executive support and policies for implementation.

The discipline of Organizational Behavior addresses the following elements:
1. Developing a resilient organization
2. Policies that support organizational resilience
3. Training and Development Practices
4. Role of the Executive in Organizational Resilience
