Dear Colleagues,
In today's rapidly evolving work environments, the resilience of the workforce has become a critical factor for organizational success. Resilience, the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties, is essential for maintaining both mental and physical health amid the pressures and uncertainties of modern work life. The importance of fostering a resilient workforce cannot be overstated, as it directly impacts productivity, job satisfaction, and overall organizational well-being. With the increasing recognition of mental health issues and the need for physical wellness in the workplace, there is an urgent need for evidence-based strategies and interventions that promote resilience among employees.
This Special Issue, titled "Building a Resilient Workforce: Strategies for Promoting Mental and Physical Health at Work," aims to explore innovative approaches and comprehensive strategies that enhance employee resilience. The objective is to provide a platform for sharing cutting-edge research and practical insights that contribute to the development of resilient workforces. This subject aligns with the journal's scope by addressing critical aspects of workplace health, organizational behavior, and human resource management, offering valuable contributions to both academic research and practical applications in various organizational settings.
