The resilience of employees is essential for their functioning, development, and survival under adverse conditions (Zwetsloot, van Scheppingen, Bos, Dijkman, & Starren, 2013). One method of fostering employee resilience is communication. Resilience is felt internally, therefore, it can be hard to measure (Lester, Vogelgesang Lester, & Saboe, 2018). Organizations should start simply by having open and candid conversations about what adverse conditions the organization is facing; include the employee in on what is going on so they can process how they want to handle it. These conversations should be frequent and delivered by all levels of management.
