What is Confidence & Resilience in the Workplace?

Confidence in the workplace is knowing your strengths, the value you provide and performing in a way that reflects that to your peers. Confidence is not just about excelling in verbal communication like public speaking or presenting, it can apply to developing other skills, like effective minute taking, advanced decision making or even using certain software.

Resilience in the workplace is when a team can prepare and invest for disruption, and adapt, withstand, and bounce back quickly in a way that enables them to not only succeed in its aftermath, but also to lead the way to a ‘better normal’.

Why are Confidence & Resilience Skills Important?

Employers benefit from confident and resilient employees because they’re positive contributors, more productive, good motivators, and are able to overcome any pressures or challenges that may come their way in the workplace.

Further, a study by Indeed revealed that nearly all workers (98%) say they perform better when they feel confident, and 94% say they’re happier when they feel confident at work.

How Can These Skills Help You Get Promoted?

Confidence and resilience are the two most desirable qualities when it comes to leadership skills. Filling certain skill gaps in these areas could aid your professional development and advancement within your organisation.

A study carried out by CV-Library, which surveyed 300 UK employers, revealed that 57.7% of employers listed resilience as a key skill for a potential hire, and 71.5% listed the ability to adapt as the most important skill, which is a key element of resilience.

  2. Future Focus
    The inner drive is about confidence, self-belief, and motivation. Feeling optimistic and self-assured about your own plans and strategies will not only motivate you to work through challenging times, but will also help encourage and inspire your team to do the same.

  4. Flexible Thinking
    Having a tunnel vision when it comes to strategy and planning is a limited view which can ultimately hold you back. You must be open and adaptable to new ideas and change to succeed.
  5. Strong Relationships
    Resilient people have great relationships with others and are not too proud to ask for help or share their problems. They are an open and trustworthy employee who works well in a team.
