Employee Resilience

Meaning

In the context of hormonal health and wellness, Employee Resilience is defined as the physiological and psychological capacity of an individual within a professional setting to adapt successfully to acute and chronic workplace stressors while maintaining optimal cognitive and physical function. This concept is fundamentally linked to the integrity of the psychoneuroendocrine axis, as high resilience implies a well-regulated stress response that prevents the transition from allostasis to allostatic load. Resilient employees demonstrate a faster return to baseline hormonal balance following stress exposure, mitigating the long-term catabolic effects of cortisol and burnout. It is a critical metric for long-term occupational health.
