Employees may be able to beat the stress they report at work by taking resilience training, which can help overall health and help them bounce back from adverse circumstances.

As reported by HRDive, with the American workforce continuing to experience chronic health conditions and routine stress, including job strain and long work hours — two thirds of employees report that work is a significant source of stress — the resulting poor mental health ends up costing employers in absenteeism, lost productivity and low engagement.
